MIDAS membership has been invaluable to Intel providing an instant network to academia, new start-ups as well as established indigenous and multi-national companies.
S3 Group has benefited significantly from MIDAS membership over the last few years. The network has provided a platform to lobby for the Microelectronics industry, helped to launch the MCCI initiative, provides easy and central access to all the academic institutes, allowed us to share business experience with other members as well as giving us access to many low cost training courses.
