An EU-funded initiative will help Europe to realise its potential as a world leader in forest-based bioeconomy research.
Forest-based industries are responsible for around 8 % of EU manufacturing and 3.5 million jobs, playing a major role in the European bioeconomy in the coming years. At the heart is the forest fibre and paper industry, creating value through use of sustainable raw materials to deliver innovative solutions that substitute fossil-based products.
