VTT and drone company Manna Air Delivery are launching a joint research initiative aimed at developing safe, scalable, and sustainable unmanned air traffic. The project will explore how drone transport can support, for example, healthcare logistics and help city centre businesses expand their services.

SUPREME aims to develop stable fabrication processes for European superconducting quantum chips with improved repeatability and yield.

VTT joins PIXEurope, the European pilot line for Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), and provides the pilot line with expertise in thick silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology.

Globally, the digitalisation of agriculture requires the increasing use of measurement electronics in farming. However, power supply and electronic waste pose problems. VTT has now developed a biodegradable solar cell module power source in an international green electronics research project.

A tram or bus may in the future be able to sense the atmosphere inside the vehicle. Coordinated by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, the research project explores how artificial intelligence can be used to build situation-aware services for physical spaces.

VTT’s new sensor system helps to stop traffic accidents and improves the productivity of the mining industry. The solution is part of wider efforts where reliable sensors are created for challenging environments and extreme weather conditions.

IQM Quantum Computers has won VTT's innovation partner tender for the delivery of a 300-qubit superconducting quantum computer. The signed agreement is an excellent match with the project's main objective of putting Finland at the forefront of quantum computing development, as well as in the development and use of quantum computing in Finnish society.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and IQM Quantum Computers have completed and launched Europe’s first 50-qubit superconducting quantum computer, now open to researchers and companies through the VTT QX quantum computing service.

The Public Authorities Board of the Chips Joint Undertaking (EU Chips Act) has awarded funding to the APECS pilot line project. The project is part of a major effort to develop European semiconductor production. The project focuses on developing and providing new packaging and integration solutions for the industry. VTT is also involved in the following pilot line projects aiming at semiconductor production: FAMES, NanoIC, and PIXEurope.

Arctic Instruments, a spinout of VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has raised €2.35 million in funding for the research, development and commercialisation of its superconducting microwave amplifier technology.

VTT has been selected as the first-ever foreign partner to join an ARPA-E research program funded by the US Department of Energy, focusing on enabling the commercialisation of fusion energy.

The Finnish state has committed to financing the procurement of Finland’s next quantum computer.

Wearable sensor patches are revolutionising healthcare and wellness applications by providing continuous monitoring with optimal comfort and reliability.

VTT, GTK, and industrial partner organisations are launching a pioneering research project: ‘Hydrogen UnderGround’ (HUG) focused on underground storage of hydrogen.

The first plasma-FIB scanning electron microscope in Finland has just become operational at VTT in Espoo, Finland.

The EU project, Sustronics, has commenced with the objective of guiding the European electronics industry towards sustainable materials, design, manufacturing methods, enhanced circularity, and improved energy efficiency.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the European leader in building IQM Quantum Computers, have completed Finland's second quantum computer.

Carbonaide has raised €1.8mn in seed funding led by Lakan Betoni and Vantaa Energy. The round was completed with public loans and in-kind contributions from Business Finland and other Finnish concrete companies and strategic investors.

Current electronics manufacturing is not meeting the increasing demands for sustainability. By changing manufacturing methods, VTT research shows dramatic positive results in resource efficiency, waste reduction and sustainability.

For the green transition required by the energy crisis to be realised, better utilisation of side streams and waste from the mining and metallurgical industry is of paramount importance.
