The digital transformation is no disruption to the microtechnology industry

The innovative microtechnology industry, which has always played a key role in technological advances, does not think of the digital transformation as a disruption: almost a third of companies and research institutes do not regard the digital transformation as a new development, as they have used or implemented new digital technologies in the past already.
 
Digital transformation is nevertheless a topic which the microtechnology industry is approaching not just in theory, but in specific projects and by means of product and process innovation. Two-thirds of the European companies and eighty percent of research institutions are addressing digitalization issues in one way or another.
