franche-comté - besancon : the european center of microtechniques
“At any time, throughout the world, each and everyone of us transports, uses or relies on micro-technological components from Franche-Comté”
The organising committee is glad to welcome you cordially in Besançon city , and more precisely in the "TEMIS" area.
TEMIS, the MIcrotechnology and Scientific cluster, is the only technical centre in France dedicated to micro-technological business.
On the 130 hectares of the TEMIS site, innovative technological companies work in cooperation with engineering schools, the university laboratories, the training institutions, at the hub of a network of industries and microtechnology suppliers, in a recognised technological environment.
Part of this area, FEMTO-ST hosts several leading edge technological platforms, including the MIMENTO Technology Center (part of the French RENATECH network).
Unique in France, MIMENTO includes a “nanotechnology” module (nano-engraving, nano-lithography, etc.), a “micromanufacturing” module (3D structures, piezoelectric materials, hybrid micromechanics) and a pooled “R&D - Industrial innovation” module (industrial production line for piezoelectric micro-nano components).
