DNP also has participated in Jisso Open Innovation of Tops 2 (JOINT2), targeting further functional developments for mass-production in 2024. JOINT2 is a consortium comprising 12 companies developing semiconductor packaging materials, substrates, and equipment. Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd. is the managing company, and was selected for the Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
“Through cooperation with the other participating JOINT2 companies, DNP will accelerate the further functionality of the interposer as well as advance initiatives aimed at mass production in 2024. We will also promote the development of next-generation semiconductor packaging technology.” says Ryoichi Ohigashi of the Research and Business Development Center, DNP.
Background
The shift to higher functionality, greater speed and lower power consumption for semiconductor products requires miniaturization technology of semiconductor by using photo-lithography. It is said, however, that further miniaturization is rapidly approaching its limit, due to the complexity of the process and high costs. To overcome these challenges, the focus is on next-generation semiconductor packaging technology that improves processing speed by mounting multiple chips (e.g., CPUs, AI processors and memories) at high-densities, on the surface of an interposer.
Features
The interposer overcomes the issue of an increase in wiring resistance, and degradation of insulation resistance between the wirings, to achieve the high-performance necessary for leading edge semiconductor packaging.
DNP manufactures templates for nanoimprint lithography, a next-generation pattern transfer technology by employing microfabrication technology based on printing processes. We also broadly expand businesses through MEMS foundry services for sensors. In this latest development, we have applied glass and silicon substrate processing developed through the aforementioned businesses for advanced packaging technologies, along with handling technology and fine wiring formation technology.
About DNP
Since 1876, DNP is a global leader in the provision of printing solutions that connect people and society, providing new value.

Zuper and Vonage Reimagine Network Connectivity for Skilled Trades with Quality on Demand25.2.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
Zuper, the AI operating system for the trades, and Vonage, part of Ericsson, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enter into a collaboration to integrate Vonage’s network APIs into the Zuper platform. The collaboration will provide Zuper with early access to Vonage network powered solutions, starting with Quality on Demand (QoD), where mobile network performance can be selectively applied to support critical field workflows, delivering improved latency, reliability, and connected experiences for mobile workforces. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260225852261/en/ QoD is the first advanced network API being integrated¹ and represents one component of a larger vision for mobile networks as a platform that aligns network behaviour with application intent as these capabilities continue to be exposed. The ambition is to provide Zuper with programmable mobile network capabilities, powered by Vonag
AI: The New Insider Threat Facing Organizations25.2.2026 10:00:00 EET | Press release
According to the Thales 2026 Data Threat Report, organizations across various markets including automotive, energy, finance and retail say the rapid pace of AI-driven transformation is now their biggest security challenge. Based on the report’s research, conducted by S&P Global 451 Research, 61% cite AI as their top data security risk. The concern is not only about malicious AI, but about the access it is being granted as it shifts from a tool to a trusted insider. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260225599723/en/ ©Thales As enterprises embed AI into workflows, analytics, customer service, and development pipelines, these systems are being granted broad, automated access to enterprise data, often with fewer controls than those applied to human users in a corporate environment. “Insider risk is no longer just about people. It is also about automated systems that have been trusted too quickly,” says Sebastien Can
Industrial Decarbonization: Calderion, WenCo and Terravent Invest in Graforce to Scale Plasma Pyrolysis Globally25.2.2026 09:07:00 EET | Press release
The investor consortium comprising the Paris-based Next Generation Fuels Industrial & Technological fund Calderion (Audacia), alongside infrastructure developer Terravent and WenCo Family Office, announces the closing of a strategic double-digit million-euro financing round for Berlin-based Graforce GmbH. The investment is dedicated to the industrial scale-up of Graforce’s proprietary plasma pyrolysis technology, addressing the growing global demand for cost-efficient low-carbon hydrogen, syngas, and carbon removal solutions that are compatible with existing industrial infrastructures. Disruptive alternative to conventional processes Graforce’s technology aims at replacing CO₂-intensive legacy routes such as steam reforming and classical gasification. By applying plasma to methane, biogas, flare gas, and landfill gas, the process converts these streams into their valuable molecular components instead of emitting them. The result is a high-efficiency production of clean hydrogen and syn
Mevion Medical Systems Announces CE Marking of the MEVION S250-FIT™ Proton Therapy System, Expanding Global Access to Compact Proton Therapy25.2.2026 09:00:00 EET | Press release
Mevion Medical Systems, the global leader in compact proton therapy, today announced that the MEVION S250-FIT Proton Therapy System has successfully completed the conformity assessment process and has received CE Marking under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (EU MDR). This regulatory milestone enables the marketing, sale, and clinical use of the MEVION S250-FIT system throughout the European Union, building on the system’s existing U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance granted in September 2025. The MEVION S250-FIT is the first and only proton therapy system designed to fit into a standard radiation therapy vault. By enabling cancer centers to use their existing infrastructure, the MEVION S250-FIT dramatically reduces the cost, complexity, and timeline traditionally associated with proton therapy adoption. This opens a new pathway for hospitals and cancer centers across Europe to bring advanced proton treatment to their patients. “With both FDA clearance and CE Marking now in hand, the MEVION S250-FIT is
