IVAM Survey 2010

Jan 28, 2010



The impact of the ongoing economic crisis on the microtechnology, nanotechnology and advanced materials industries is expected to be less noticeable in 2010 than in the previous business year. A year ago, however, an improvement in the economic situation had been predicted by industry representatives for 2009 as well, a year that did not develop as positively as expected. But still, the expectations for 2010 prove that the industry has not lost its optimism. In the second half of 2009, “excellent business” has been reported by individual companies. Due to an increasing demand from the semiconductor sector, some companies have directly changed over from short-time work to weekend shifts.

A summary of the survey results is available for download here.
