Mr. Dan Gale
Dan Gale is Chief Technology Officer for CMC Microsystems (www.cmc.ca). Over the course of his career, Dan’s leadership and commitment has helped to enable Canada’s distinguished and full participation in the global microsystems community. With over 25 years of experience, Mr. Gale developed and shaped CMC programs to enable university researchers to collaborate effectively with industry and acquire access to leadingedge microsystems technologies. Building on a solid foundation in microelectronics, CMC’s product and service portfolio now includes MEMS, microfluidics, photonics and embedded software. In 2000, he led the development of a national SystemonChip Research Network involving 33 universities, funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation and Ontario Innovation Trust.
