ecosystem
like other European
Research and Technology VTT Organizations (RTOs), has
been making a major contribution to innova-
tion excellence, economic competitiveness and
social progress across Europe for more than
60 years. As noted, this contribution often goes
unnoticed as some kind of ‘forgotten sector’.
However, the total economic impact of RTOs
has been estimated at up to €40 billion annually
and at over €100 billion when taking account of
longer-term spill-over effects.
RTOs bring together a rare and long-established
array of capabilities and activities from basic
and applied research to advanced engineer-
ing, design and development, measurements,
tests and prototype production, and industrial
exploitation through contract research, licensing
and spin-outs. They use these capabilities to
serve both public and private clients, including
a very large number of SMEs. Every year, their
research resources and technology commer-
cialization expertise help well over 100,000
companies, from SMEs to multinationals, to
go beyond their internal technological limits to
produce world-beating innovations.
RTOs have a long tradition of helping govern-
ments tackle major social, technical and scientifc
challenges of the day, and RTO-enabled innova-
tions are therefore found everywhere – improving
the health and wellbeing of citizens and the quali-
ty of lives and environments. >>
