The International Institution for Micro Manufacturing aims to promote dialogue among university, industry, and government communities to advance the science, technology, and practice of micromanufacturing.

The Institution provides an international platform to promote research, collaborations, and dissemination of knowledge in micro-manufacturing through conferences, meetings, reports, publications, and the institution's website.

An annual conference, International Conference on Micro Manufacturing (ICOMM), which has been organized since 2006, provides a forum for members of the international micro-manufacturing community to present their recent innovations, research, and technological developments. Since 2017, ICOMM has merged with conference of two other forums 4M and IFMM into a joint conference named World Congress on Micro Nano Manufacturing (WCMNM)
