Have a sip of start-up lemonade and read interesting insights on innovation economies 🍧
Excellent thoughts from Mark Bregman on how small economies build innovation and what can be learned from Finland and New Zealand. I fully agree on his observation how we made start-up lemonade from the lemons of Nokia’s downfall. We have still lot to learn how we can scale up all yhe great start-ups to true global tech champions.
Scientists and the forest industry are teaming up to make pulping greener! 🌍💡 Together with RISE Research Institutes of Sweden, we're leading a 5-year programme to use wood more efficiently and cut emissions 🌳 Emission Free Pulping is a groundbreaking research programme with around 20 full-time researchers. It aims to significantly reduce biomass burning and increase the product yield of wood material used for pulping from approximately 50% to around 70%. 🌳 “To significantly enhance resource efficiency and increase the value added from wood, revising the chemical processes and unit operations used in the pulping process is essential”, VTT's Atte Virtanen says.

Suomessa on monia yrityksiä ja aloja, joilla on mahdollisuus kasvaa maailman menestyjiksi, sanoo Tesin toimitusjohtaja Pia Santavirta 🌱🌐 “Deep tech -kenttämme kehittyy nopeasti. Hyvä esimerkki on satelliittiteknologiaa kehittävä ICEYE. Toinen Suomen suuri mahdollisuus ovat puhtaaseen siirtymään liittyvät teollisen mittakaavan hankkeet.” Millä muilla aloilla kasvu jo orastaa? Millaisia ovat lupaavimmat teknologiat? 📘 https://hubs.ly/Q02HC6Mx0 #VTTBeyondTheObvious #tki #kestäväkasvu #vihreäsiirtymä #deeptech
Hey everyone! I'm Katariina, I study materials chemistry at the University of Turku and for the summer I'm working in the Quantum sensors team at VTT 👋🔬 🧪 My work here is primarily cleanroom-based, so I typically spend my days there making samples and characterising them. I've quickly learned how much work goes into these amazing projects and that even small tasks can significantly impact the outcome, which I find motivating. 👩🎓 When I first came here, I was surprised by how many trainees and thesis workers VTT has and how much they truly value collaboration with students here. 🧡 Everyone is very passionate about their work, so every time I talk to someone, I learn something new, which I love! #VTTSummerOfChangemakers #VTTpeople
Puolijohteiden pilottilinjatoiminta laajenee Otaniemessä! 🔬🙌 🔧 Micronovan pilotointiympäristön rinnalle, tulevaan Kvanttinova-TKI-teskittymään, rakennetaan uusi yhteiskäyttöinen pilottilinja, joka avaa täysin uusia teknologioiden kehityssuuntia puolijohdetoimialan yrityksille. 🔧 Valmistuessaan pilottilinja tarjoaa ensimmäisenä Suomessa alan tutkimus-, kehitys- ja pilottivalmistusta 300 millimetrin kiekkokoossa. Puolijohdealalla kiekkokoko on keskeisessä roolissa, ja tulevaisuudessa yhä useampi puolijohdeteknologia siirtyy entistä suurempaan kiekkokokoon.

Great to have you in our team Leena! 👩🔬 👏
Japanologist, PhD・ Humanities for impact・Clean energy transition・ Networking aficionado and innovation enthusiast
Long time no see and greetings from VTT! ✨ It's been four months since I started my journey here at VTT as a postdoctoral researcher. It's been quite a ride full of new learnings. For these past months I've been working with energy-related topics: Energy sufficiency, energy humanities, energy justice, energy security and resilience in multiple forms and contexts. It's been merely a scratch of the surface so far, but I'm extremely honored to have gotten the opportunity to play my small part in trying to create even a slightly more sustainable future. I've been mainly working in the REPower-CEST initiative with the aim of tackling wicked problems concerning energy justice and security, bringing human centric approaches, ideas and understanding to the topic. The work has just begun, so I expect to be able to tell you more about the proceedings further. I've also been a part of discussions of how to conceptualize energy and make it approachable for everyone. On this final day before my summer holidays I'm working on a journal article on energy flexibility and thermal comfort with Rakesh Ramesh and Hassam ur Rehman. There is still so much to learn, but what can I say? To hire a Japanologist to work on clean energy transition is truly #VTTbeyondtheobvious! Thank you for all you technical people for making room for your resident humanities person! 😃 And, not to forget Japan - I've had the pleasure of participating in meetings with Japanese companies here as well. It's always a pleasure to be able to put that specific skill set to good use 🗾😊
"Since plasma is hot and I don't want to hurt myself (again), I do my research from the safety of my office by modelling the plasma with ASCOT5 code developed here in Finland. Fusion energy is a global effort, and in Finland we have strong expertise as well as the best tools." 🚀 Have you met Konsta? 👋 He joins us with a background in physics, a PhD at Aalto University, followed by postdoc positions in Sweden and Germany. His research focuses on the troublemakers in fusion plasmas: relativistic electrons and fast ions. 🔬 At VTT, Konsta models experiments conducted worldwide and advises on the use of our advanced tools. "Fusion is the most popular form of energy production in the universe and it's scientifically challenging!" Coming from academia, Konsta has found the transition to VTT very smooth. 💫 "I haven't found much difference working at VTT compared to academia. For a researcher-minded person like me, that's a good thing," We're glad to have you in the VTT team, Konsta! 🧡 #VTTPeople #VTTBeyondTheObvious
