Export and cooperation predominate in international activities

Apr 1, 2018



In total, 85.5% of the European microtechnology companies export. Export is the prevalent way of acting on an international level in the microtechnology industry. Most companies that do not export (almost 15%) are suppliers of components whose customers export the final product.

Research institutions are predominantly active at international level in the form of technological cooperation and joint projects: 89.7% of the microtechnology R&D institutions cooperate with international partners in technology development and 69% are involved in international joint projects.
