VTT

To prepare for the future, four major European research institutes - CEA (France), Fraunhofer (Germany), CSEM (Switzerland), and VTT (Finland) - have joined forces and pooled their expertise in microtechnologies, nanoelectronics and smart systems creating the Heterogeneous Technology Alliance (HTA). Building a bridge over the so-called "valley of death" between academia and industry, the objective of this wide-ranging alliance is to carry out joint research projects and develop innovative solutions which contribute to meeting the future's grand societal challenges... the HTA creates coherence and synergies between leading teams and research infrastructures in the fields of miniaturization and systems integration. Operated as a one-stop shop for complete system solutions, the HTA guarantees simple access to an enlarged portfolio of technologies and is structured to facilitate technology transfer to European and non-European companies. With a combined staff of more than 5,000 scientists..
