History


VTT was founded in 1942[10] to do scientific research work and to boost manufacturing during wartime. VTT has always been in a key position in the development and transfer of new technology in Finland and works in close co-operation with technical universities and other domestic and international partners. Nowadays VTT is a multidisciplinary organisation whose research and development work covers all the different fields of technology. Digitalisation [11] and sustainability are the two guiding trends in VTT's research activities. VTT has its headquarters in Otaniemi.


Technology for augmented reality applications, novel bacterial strain for improved ethanol production, medical imaging equipment to diagnose skin cancer, development of roll-to-roll printed inverted organic solar cells, and solutions for constructing close to zero energy district are examples of the results of VTT's R&D work.[12]


Customers rate the impact of VTT's activities high. 68% reported increased competitiveness based on their co-operation with VTT.[13]
