WELCOME COME TO SIMTOS/The IMS Vision Forum 2006

innovation in manufacturing for the next-generation growth engines.
We cordially invite you to join the IMS community and world leading
experts to discuss and visualize the “Direction of Innovation in
Manufacturing for the Next-Generation Growth Engines”. IMS, the
world’s only government-supported multi-lateral international program
for manufacturing research, has found experts with a clear future
vision of social evolution, the global demand for goods, and the
advanced manufacturing techniques that will be required to deliver
those goods for presentations and open group discussions. The forum
program will focus on future manufacturing problems that involve
different areas of the supply chain including small to large business
enterprises that must be solved through global collaboration.
Following the keynote speeches, discussion groups will examine the
sub-theme topics and give their view on future trends. After the trends
have been identified, the discussion groups will develop methods to
establish or revitalize networks to disseminate the information needed
to align industry and IMS strategy to the vision. Recommendations will
be made and published by IMS in a manner presentable to governments,
industry, and researchers to influence their support and guide
direction to future research activities. The discussion groups will
then share their findings in an open session, then a panel discussion
will follow and concluding remarks will be made.
The IMS Vision Forum 2006 should be of interest to industry CTOs,
researchers, industrial associations, senior level R&D managers, and
government officials. It will be held 12-13 April 2006, and the free
registration is limited, so we encourage you to register early.
In addition, the forum will be held in conjunction with the 12th Seoul
International Machine Tool Show (SIMTOS), which will draw roughly
50,000 attendees. This is an excellent opportunity to combine a visit
to both events.
The IMS Vision Forum 2006 will be followed by an IMS Project Meeting to
discuss current activities, review IMS news, and discuss new
value-added programs IMS is implementing to assist them.
We hope you will find this special event a great opportunity to witness
and participate in an international meeting designed to help influence
the future in manufacturing research. We look forward to seeing you
there.
