2M Engineering is a research performing SME and open to be your high-tech R&D partner for sensor product creation. Each year we dedicate a significant part of our turnover to R&D activities. 2M turns envisioned medical and industrial problems into high-quality and easy to use solutions and products. 2M works as a bridge between application and technology. Our challenge is always to find the best compromise between technology, manufacturability and user benefit.

Industrial IoT sensors
High-Tech R&D Partner for Sensor Products & Solutions
As sensor experts we have a broad overview of available technologies, but also the ability to create completely new sensors (technologies) if needed. We believe in fast prototyping, testing, learning and improving with real users in the real context during all development stages.
Open for new partnerships
We have an (inter)national network of research organizations, universities and hospitals and are always open to participate in and explore new opportunities where there is a need for a strong and reliable research and development partner for sensor products like H2020, SME Instrument or Eurostars.
Our added value to your research
Turn ideas into prototypes
Do you have an idea that you want to test with real users in real-life situations?
We can turn ideas into fully functional prototypes fast and with low risk by leveraging our broad and modular technology base.
Measurement setups & solutions
In need of a practical measurement setup for your organization, research or clinical study?
2M provides complete practical to use end-2-end measurement solutions for a wide range of applications. Including creation of biomedical signal processing and algorithms.
Complete product creation
Interested in creation of a complete new product?
2M is experienced in (complex) (sensor) product creation. We create stable, accurate sensing solutions that perform well in real-life situations. 2M also handles industrialization, certification and production if needed.
Application centric
Our research & development activities are focused around the following application areas:
- Medical solutions & devices
- Industrial & IoT solutions
- Sports & e-health applications
The common theme: 2M creates sensing products and solutions.
We start by really and truly understanding the envisioned. Where is the solution used, who will use it, what problem does it solve? Is that the real problem? Once we fully understand the use case(s) we will check the technical feasibility and if it fits 2M’s capabilities.
Depending on project ambitions, and available funding our long-term ambition is always to bring new ideas to prototype or preferably product level. This is typically a journey that takes longer than originally anticipated. We therefore strive for long-term relationships that do justice to each other’s interests.

Experienced in industrial & medical device certification
2M has extensive knowhow of industrial ATEX certification and medical device certification (CE-IVD, 1m, 2a, 2b). With current changes in (medical) certification and regulatory requirements it is important to take certification and risk management already in consideration early during product research & development.
2M can assist or take the complete responsibility in quality management systems, product certification and regulatory from early stage up to commercial product. In our network we have companies that are certified for development, production, marketing and sales. One example of such an organization is Dutch Medical Devices.
Breakthrough technologies
2M has a continuous interest in exploring and creating new technologies that have the potential to become essential building blocks for next generations products. 2M is always open to jointly explore new technology innovations in the following areas:
- New sensor principles
- Connectivity and wireless technologies
- Printed, flexible and textile electronics
- Smart algorithms and signal processing
- New photonics and optical sensor technologies
- Microfluidics and MEMs sensors
However ideas come from many direction, so we are always open to learn about your ideas.
