Aalto University, University of Helsinki and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have signed an agreement to collaborate on quantum science and technology, under the umbrella of InstituteQ: The Finnish Quantum Institute. InstituteQ brings together expertise in research, education, and innovation to drive Finland s world-leading quantum technology research. Our goals are threefold, explains Professor Jukka Pekola, Aalto University, firstly, to coordinate our national research efforts; secondly, to provide the best possible education, both in graduate and industrial programs; and thirdly, in driving innovation. It is widely recognised that the expertise level in the workforce is currently a major bottleneck in developing quantum technology, explains Professor Sabrina Maniscalco, University of Helsinki, By combining and coordinating our resources, we will be able to grow expertise in new directions.

The pilot plant will be built during 2021 and 2022
A FINNISH consortium is building a pilot plant to convert waste from soybean processing into compostable bioplastic.
Using industrial biotechnology techniques, the pilot plant will convert soy molasses that are unsuitable for use as food into lactic acid. This can then be polymerised into polylactic acid (PLA), which has a range of uses including in packaging, medical implants and 3D printing filaments. The process developed as an outcome of this cooperation project is the first in the world to produce an ecological lactic acid polymer from the side streams of soy production. This way we can offer a sustainable alternative to sugar- and corn-based polylactic acid,” said Henri Nieminen, CEO of Finnfoam.

Flagships will deploy the world’s first commercial cargo transport vessel operating on hydrogen, plying the river Seine in Paris. Commercial operations are set to commence in 2021.
The hydrogen cargo transport vessel will be owned by French inland shipowner Compagnie Fluvial de Transport (CFT), a subsidiary of the Sogestran Group. The company is currently developing a new business for urban distribution with transport vessels in the Paris area.
“The demand for more sustainable technologies in inland waterway transport is on the rise. As part of the Flagships project, we are happy to be leading the way on reducing emissions from transport and demonstrating the superior features of hydrogen fuel cells in waterborne applications,” says Matthieu Blanc, director of CFT.
