The Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, an Important Project of Common European Interest (‘IPCEI') to support research, innovation and the first industrial deployment of microelectronics and communication technologies across the value chain.
The project, called “IPCEI ME/CT”, was jointly prepared and notified by fourteen Member States: Austria, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Spain.
The IPCEI ME/CT concerns research and development projects covering microelectronics and communication technologies across the whole value chain from materials and tools to the chip designs and manufacturing processes.
These projects aim at enabling the digital and green transformation by: (i) creating innovative microelectronics and communication solutions, and (ii) developing energy-efficient and resource-saving electronics systems and manufacturing methods. They will contribute to the technological advancement of many sectors, including communications (5G and 6G), autonomous driving, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. They will also support companies active in the energy generation, distribution and use in their green transition.
Femtorays Technologies (FTH) is an innovative SME located in the Trentino region that possesses a patented technique for detecting dispersed molecules in a fluid, based on integrated optoelectronic technology, including a Silicon Photonics chip with a series of miniaturized active sensors, a low-noise electronic circuit for reading the active sensors, and a software for interpreting and modeling the data.
FemtoRays technologies (FTH) develops Lab-on-chip solutions (LoC) for Point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic applications by using an advanced photo-electronics technology. FTH aims to strengthen local medical services by introducing Point-of-Care diagnostic tests into areas that have traditionally relied on centralized systems. Centralized health systems are coming under increased pressure due to the combined effect of shortage of trained resources, population aging and increasing budget cuts. Since COVID-19 pandemics it became increasingly clear that sustainable health systems shall bring the care near the patients rather than taking the patients to the hospitals, when possible.
SENSIT TECHNOLOGIES is a US company member of the HALMA industrial group.
For the Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, since 2018 it has been operating in the Bolzano and Rovereto offices, with a widespread sales network and its own support organization, SENSIT TECHNOLOGIES EMEA.
In their offices, the research and development divisions have created a wide range of instruments and SW for the detection of combustible and toxic gas leaks, atmospheric pollutants, for the quantification of methane emissions, the measurement of natural gas odorants: portable instruments, fixed monitors, vehicle equipment for ground and atmospheric controls and personal protection in confined spaces.
The mission: to provide innovative products for the protection of people and a first-class service to our customers, maintaining the spirit and values of our Family.
The vision: to be the first choice in gas leak detection solutions.
VSParticle has developed state-of-the-art automated production process of nanoporous thin-films. VSP-G1 Nanoparticle Generator (VSP-G1) is a user-friendly, table-top product that allows the user to produce nanoparticles of the desired material in a controlled way. The production of nanoparticles takes place in the gas-phase and is based on a physical process, namely spark ablation. The process is reproducible, occurs at ambient temperature and pressure, and requires only a pair of (semi)conductive electrodes as the source for pure, surfactant-free nanoparticles. With safety, simplicity and automation being core features of the VSP-G1, our systems are easy to operate and require minimal training.
VSP-P1 Nanoprinter (VSP-P1) is connected to one or 2 VSP-G1s as a nanomaterial source that enables the user to locally print inorganic nanostructured materials with unique properties. The building blocks for the printed layer are gas-phase produced, sub-20 nm nanoparticles, free of surfactants or any other organic impurities. With the VSP-P1, automated printing of nanoporous layers of different composition and/or layer thicknesses is possible.
