IoT – it’s the convergence between the digital and the physical.  And “the physical” means you have to have hardware that’s high performing, compact, power-frugal, and sensing-diverse.  That’s where Microelectronics steps in.  We discuss the critical role of microelectronics from sensors, to connectivity and communication, to computing and analytics – without which IoT just doesn’t happen.  We also discuss the importance of microelectronics to Canada and what is being done to lower entry barriers for Canadian researchers, innovators, and companies.

Guest
