1. ELMO ELMO - Miniaturising Electronics Duration: 2002-2005 Estimated volume: 100 million euros, of which Tekes accounts for approximately 50 million euros Programme Manager: D.Sc. Pentti Koskinen, Tietoneuvos Oy Further information: www.tekes.fi/english/programmes/ELMO The objective of the ELMO Programme is to build a widely applicable knowledge base for the coming years so that the focus is on the core competence of the electronics sector. The criteria set for the central themes of the programme, in other words, for the development trends, are miniaturisation, integration, and cost-efficiency. Docs 39889 09-2002
