In this paper, the technology and business activities of MEMS-CORE, which was established in 2001 as a venture company of Tohoku University, will be reviewed. MEMS-CORE is successfully maintaining the business of development services with about 150 companies, including foreign companies. The Industry-University Cooperation Project provided much benefit to MEMS-CORE's business activities through the codevelopment of useful processing apparatus. Here, we define development services as development effort in MEMS-CORE under contract between a customer and MEMS-CORE. Development services play an important role in the MEMS industry, the same as foundry services which manufacture a product under contract with a customer.
