In 2005 Philippe Mattelaer joined the Holst Centre, IMEC- Nederland, a newly formed research institute. Philippe is currently setting up research partnerships with the industry worldwide in the field of wireless autonomous sensor network solutions.

 

Prior to joining Holst, Philippe gained more than ten years experience in technology commercialization in the UK and the USA. As Associate Vice President at BTG International, Inc. Philippe identified, acquired and commercialized fundamental technologies and patent portfolios through licensing and new venture creation.

 

From 1989 through 1994, Philippe was with Hewlett Packard, Medical Products Group Europe where he held several business development and product marketing positions in Germany, France and Belgium.

 

Philippe holds an MBA degree from Imperial College, London, a masters degree in Electrical Engineering from Group T, Leuven and a post-graduate degree in biomedical engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium.

Holst Centre is an independent centre for open innovation that develops generic technologies and technology platforms for wireless autonomous transducer solutions and systems-in-foil. It is founded in 2005 by the research organizations IMEC and TNO. A key feature is interaction and cooperation with industry and academia. It is this kind of cross-fertilization that enables Holst Centre to tune its scientific strategy to industrial needs.
