The International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) is a not-for-profit, highly efficient R&D consortium of approximately 90 leading electronics manufacturers, suppliers, associations, government agencies and universities.
iNEMI roadmaps the future technology requirements of the global electronics industry, identifies and prioritizes technology and infrastructure gaps, and helps eliminate those gaps through timely, high-impact deployment projects. These projects support our members' businesses by accelerating deployment of new technologies, developing industry infrastructure, stimulating standards development, and disseminating efficient business practices. We also sponsor proactive forums on key industry issues and publish position papers to focus industry direction.
iNEMI is headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina USA (near the Raleigh/Research Triangle Park area). We are led by an international board of directors with management depth who represent a cross-section of the electronics manufacturing industry.
Read MoreiNEMI's roadmap provides a 10-year outlook for electronics manufacturing, anticipating technology needs and identifying gaps. It is unique in scope — covering the full supply chain — and is an important tool for focusing R&D priorities.
iNEMI’s deployment projects eliminate technology gaps, set direction for future technology, and drive standardization to reduce cost and complexity. These projects leverage the efforts and resources of participants from multiple member companies, reducing the risk and cost to any one organization.
Through the combined power of iNEMI's global membership, we offer the opportunity to efficiently drive technology development and deployment across the global supply chain.
iNEMI provides us with the opportunity to collaborate in a pre-competitive environment with IBM’s existing suppliers, introduces us to new organizations, and allows us to work with other OEM companies so that we can prepare for the next generation of systems. “We rely on a vertically integrated organization like iNEMI where we can develop technologies with others in the industry to accelerate our time to market and reduce development expenses.”
“We see a lot of advantage and a lot of value in being associate with iNEMI. It gives us an opportunity to develop the right product at the right time for the right people.”
Through iNEMI projects, we generate relationships with the other participants— like suppliers or other OEMs — and we can draw on those relationships when we have a technical problem.
We have been involved with iNEMI from the beginning because a lot of our customers are members. It’s a very practical way to be in touch with customers and listen to their plans for the coming years.
