WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the 23rd World Smart Systems & Micromachine Summit 2017, formerly
named World Micromachine Summit.
This year 70 delegates and observers from 21 country and region delegations will share
their knowledge and points of view on Micro and Nanotechnologies and Smart
Systems.
Special interest topic for this MMS2017 is Smart Systems for Smart Cities applications.
Other related applications and results from new and highly relevant recent R&D
actions in different countries will be also presented.
Barcelona, located at the Mediterranean Sea, is the capital of Catalonia, a region of
Spain known for its enterprising and dynamic nature. It is an unforgettable city of art
and culture that is open to people and to the world and an international point ofreference both socially and economically.
Barcelona has always proved its will to be modern, to follow the latest internationaltendencies or be ahead of them. In this sense, Barcelona is committed to be a live
example of a Smart City.
Thank you for being part of MMS2017!
