Vincent Hiligsmann is Chief Innovations Officer at Melexis, a global supplier of micro-electronic semiconductor solutions. Melexis develops sensor and driver technologies for applications including mobility, robotics and advanced industrial systems.
One example is a highly advanced robotic finger developed with European know-how and sensor technology. The innovation may originate here, but scaling and industrialisation increasingly move towards China, where speed, manufacturing capacity and supply chains operate at a different level.
In the panel 'Should Europe innovate at US/China speed?', Vincent brings the perspective of a European hardware company working internationally to accelerate innovation, scale production and respond to fast-moving markets.
