HCM City (VNA) – A training course on the manufacturing,packaging, certification and commercialisation of micro-electro-mechanical systems(MEMS) ended on February 7 in the Saigon Hi-tech Park (SHTP) in Ho Chi MinhCity.

The course, lasting from October 2017 – January 2018, aims to help traineesmaster MEMS technology used in environment alert and construction of smarturban areas.

As part of a cooperation programme between Ho Chi Minh Cityand the Dutch government, the course was conducted by the SHTP Research andDevelopment Centre, the Delft University of Technology and the Netherlands’Fabmax company. The Dutch government funded 300,000 EUR to the project.

Fifteen trainees who are micro-electro-mechanical expertsfrom universities and start-ups based in SHTP have so far mastered packagingtechnology using 3D printing and experimentally made flow sensors in thecentre.

Ngo Vo Ke Thanh, Director of the SHTP Research andDevelopment Centre, said the course will increase human resources for theproject on micro-electro industry development in Ho Chi Minh City for the 2017-2020period with vision to 2030.

Dutch experts also shared their experience in market analysisand MEMS commercialisation during the course.

On the occasion, the centre and the Delft University ofTechnology signed a cooperation agreement (the second stage) on pilot MEMSproduction, training of highly-skilled scientists and engineers, and organisationof international seminars on MEMS.-VNA
