SCIENCE SPIN-OFFS

[chessmite]

VTT’s expertise and its cooperation model have
attracted interest around the world. There is
close cooperation particularly within the EU:
A centre of excellence for printed intelligence
is to be built in the Navarre region in Spain

The road map features three future scenarios
for each of the selected sectors – the food
industry, medicine and renewable energy – as
well as a list of the technologies that best fit each
of these scenarios and their feasibility for commercial

Regional projects are underway elsewhere
in Europe as well; leading examples include
Dresden, Cambridge and Eindhoven – others
are emerging.

Kuusisto explains. “So we
are focusing on creating a new market rather
than replacing an existing one.”
There is an increasing number of players
involved in printed intelligence R&D. “The multi-
technology approach of VTT is its forte. We
understand the interfaces between materials,
processes and components. This is apparent
in our development timetables: we get results
more quickly,” Kuusisto says.
“We combine technical expertise from areas
such as chemistry, electronics, paper and
biotechnology. This multi-technology approac
enables us to genuinely innovate and create
new things.”
