Industry collaboration
Institute of Technology values industry collaboration highly. Our scientists have participated in several applied projects and therefore entrepreneurs have received many new and innovative technological solutions.
Selection of the companies we have worked with:
|
LanzaTech with Institute of Technology Senior Research Fellow in Gas Fermentation Technologies Kaspar Valgepea are exploring how to convert waste into useful resources. The aim of the work is to find solutions for manufacturing companies to everyday use. More information in LanzaTech homepage! |
|
Pro Farm is developing and producing agricultural products and fertilizers. Together with professor Hannes Kollist and his research group they are investigating how novel fertilizers are affecting plants. The experiments are carried out in the dry and rainy environment. More information in Pro Farm homepage! |

There are hundreds of different microbes in the human gut. Many could be useful as probiotics, but growing them in larger amounts is technically difficult. Most of these microbes are obligate anaerobes and do not tolerate oxygen. During this project we will develop a platform technology for growth medium optimization for anaerobic bacteria. This technology speeds up the discovery process and paves the way for the next generation probiotics. More information in TFTAK homepage!
