SOPRANO - Advanced system-on-packages; A feasible route towards boosting Nordic electronics industries

The objective of the SOPRANO project is to improve the Nordic technology industry by utilizing advanced additive electronics manufacturing technology in various applications, such as X-ray detectors, batteries, telecommunications components, and smart mining equipment. The project aims to reduce the line width in electronics manufacturing, improve cost-efficiency, and enhance environmental friendliness, while strengthening technological expertise in collaboration with the University of Oulu and Luleå University of Technology. The goal is to promote economic growth, create jobs, and attract investments to the Aurora region.

The measures include researching and developing additive microcircuit manufacturing technologies, such as high-density interconnects and 3D structures, designing and manufacturing demonstrators (battery, sensor, antenna), testing and piloting the developed products in real environments. Additionally, the project will assess the environmental impact, create a roadmap for technology commercialization, and finally disseminate the results and utilize them in industry and public forums.
