The “MSS Alliance” was launched in September 2015, as an industry-academia-government joint research framework towards a de facto standard for olfactory sensors/systems based on the MSS technology. The “MSS Forum” was launched on November 1st, 2017, to accelerate practical applications and to meet requests from interested groups in various fields for first-hand experience in the use of MSS olfactory IoT sensing systems developed through the R&D in the MSS Alliance. The seven organizations that make up the MSS Alliance will continue the R&D on constituent technologies while the companies and research institutes who joined the MSS Forum promote experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the MSS in various environments, pursuing the establishment of MSS olfactory IoT sensor sensors/systems technologies to achieve a de facto standard.
