TOP STORIES F I NL A ND New medtech pilot environ
ment VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has opened a new pilot line environment for medical devices in Oulu, Finland. VTT HAS INVESTED EUR 3.4 million in its cleanroom and manufacturing equipment. This investment allows the production of small and mid-sized prototype series consisting of the most advanced electronic, photonic, microelectronic, and microfluidic components and integration technologies. These enable the development of comfortable, skin-like, wearable sensors for continuous monitoring of cardiovascular diseases, as well as microfluidics biochemical sensors for ultra-sensitive cancer diagnostics. Rapid diagnostics will be another important area for the pilot line, which started operating in early 2025. VTT will collaborate with medical device product companies and manufacturers as well as with universities and other research and healthcare organizations.
