TactoTek, a Finnish manufacturer of 3D injection molded structural electronics (IMSE) solutions, received a €2.5m EU Horizon 2020 award.
The company will use the funds to mass produce (performed TactoTek itself or licensed production partners) its injection molded electronics (IME) solutions.
Led by Jussi Harvela, CEO, TactoTek is advancing solutions that integrate printed circuitry, printed touch controls and discrete electronic components, such as LEDs and ICs, into light, 3D injection molded plastics as thin as 2mm. By incorporating circuitry and electronics directly into plastic structures, the solutions enable brands to design innovative form factors and consolidate electronics into a single 3D structure.
The company, which prototypes and manufactures products in its Kempele, Finland, factory that includes a vertically-integrated production capability, is funded by Conor Venture Partners, Leaguer VC, VTT Ventures, private angels, and TEKES.
Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument of Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness and whose charter includes supporting new industrial technologies that strengthen Europe’s industrial capabilities.
