MANCEF is a non profit foundation whose mission is to connect the global community engaged in the commercialization of emerging miniaturization technologies. Our members include academia, governments and industry; working together to overcome the challenges of getting technology to market.

Activities:
Annual COMS (Commercialization of Micro and Nano Systems Conference) COMS 08 will be held Aug 31 –Sep 4, 2008, in Puerto Vallarta, MX

Regional events focused on commercialization, such as the nano network of New Mexico.

MANCEF also supports other quality conferences focusing on commercialization.

Roadmaps:
The 2nd edition international micro-nano roadmap - This document is designed for those seeking to understand the industry and where future growth and profit opportunities lie, as well as for those intending to develop their own commercialization roadmaps for their products in specific industry segments. To that end, the roadmap provides general trends in 15 specific areas essential to the commercialization process of MST/MEMS/Micromachining-based products. This roadmap in particular aims: To "Speed-up" the process of commercialization of products based on Microsystems technologies through the pre-competitive sharing of information between the firms and contributors involved in this road mapping process.

Individual chapters are also available.
• Nanotechnology (explores the nuances of Nanosystems, nano enabled industy segments)
• MEMS Patents (contains a year by year mapping of Microsystems intellectual property)
• Process and Equipment for MST
• Equipment and Tooling for MNT
• RF MEMS (explores RFMEMS including new opportunities, intellectual property advances, technological process and process advances)
• Two chapter updates are also included: Foundries and Packaging & Assembly

MANCEF is also active in workforce development.
