Dr. Peter Hewkin, CEO at Centre for Business Innovation, said that the success of the Microfluidics Consortium's visit to the USA would become a regular occurence, with the target of holding half the consortium's meetings in the USA and half in Europe in the coming year. He welcomed new members including: Invenios (California); Advanced Liquid Logic (North Carolina); National Research Council of Canada (Montreal) to the consortium.
