The future of the forest - Be part of the conversion journey

A green transition is required to future-proof long-term conditions for our society and business life. In the transition to fossil-free, bio-based raw materials are important. But the forest's resources are limited and increased competition for bio-raw material makes the resource shortage clear. In order to continue to have viable forests and ecosystems, we simultaneously need to ensure that forestry and the use of raw materials takes place in a sustainable manner.

This web page has been machine translated. If there are any uncertainties, please refer to the Swedish text.

Together we need to answer the following questions:

  • How can we collaborate across borders, to develop competitive business models where the bio raw material is used resource-efficiently and circularly?
  • How can guidelines, certification and labeling create a market for sustainable forest raw materials?
  • And how do we work together to secure increased biological diversity and a balanced climate?

Vinnova now invites you to a conversion journey, for a future-proof sustainable forest and use of forest raw materials. In order to bring about change, we want to mobilize a broad group of actors and creators from the entire forest value chain. The journey starts by visualizing possible future scenarios together, which provide common direction.

We go from dialogue to action, through initiatives with a focus on business models that bridge gaps in the value chain, where the bio raw material is used resource-efficiently and circularly. We are investigating how control measures, certification and labeling can be used to stimulate the purchase and procurement of sustainable forest raw materials.

The goal is to contribute through innovation to the development of a sustainable society and competitive business life within the planetary boundaries, with increased biological diversity and a balanced climate.
