CMC Research Workshop - Lab2Fab 2017: Integration for Innovation
Description
The Lab2Fab bi-annual meeting provides a platform for industry, academic-based fabrication and characterization centres, and government labs to collaborate in overcoming their R&D challenges. Our goal is to help all parties build their capacity and expertise to increase Canadian competitiveness in manufacturing of microsystems and nanotechnology innovations. Lab2Fab 2017 was co-hosted by: 3IT, 4D LABS, nanoFAB, GCM Lab, TNFC, and CMC Microsystems in Montréal and Bromont QC, September 2017. See full program: www.lab2fab.ca
