VTT is a visionary research, development and innovation partner for companies and society. We bring together people, business, science and technology to solve the biggest challenges of our time. We advance the utilisation and commercialisation of research and technology in commerce and society. This is how we create sustainable growth, jobs and wellbeing and bring exponential hope.

VTT is one of the leading technical research organisations in Europe, and we have over 80 years of experience in cutting-edge research and science-based results. Our more than 2,000 professionals work to develop systemic and technological solutions that can bring about fundamental transformation.

We promise to always think beyond the obvious.

The biotechnological revolution is rapidly transforming industrial processes in the chemical, material, energy, food and pharmaceutical industries. Biotechnology will disrupt how we produce raw materials for various goods. We at VTT create cell factories that, for example, produce the desired cell biomass, chemicals and proteins for enzyme, food, and pharmaceutical applications.

VTT’s industrial biotechnology infrastructure is for developing cell factories and production concepts to produce proteins, biomaterials and biochemicals. Our crucial research equipment is for automated synthetic biology and metabolic engineering, analytics for biomolecules and other metabolites, and fermentation and downstream processes. Our state-of-the-art research and piloting facilities provide for efficient genetic code design for organisms, the development of new and efficient production hosts, and scaling of production processes up to 1200 litres. The facilities enable research and innovation from the laboratory to pilot scale.
