Finland-based conductive film developer Canatu has raised €15m ($16.3m) from a consortium including corporate venturing unit 3M Ventures and car part makers Denso and Faurecia. Denso provided two-thirds of the money and led the round, while Faurecia invested €2m in its third funding for Canatu.

Canatu designs and produces stretchable, transparent conductive films and touch sensors that facilitate the creation of 3D consumer electronics and automotive technology that can be operated through touch.
