Innovation Agenda
Impulses for research and development in the forest and timber industry
The S-WIN Innovation Agenda provides impetus for research and development (R&D) along the entire forest and wood value chain. Based on current findings from S-WIN activities and research projects, innovative action proposals are developed that provide clear guidance for future-oriented R&D activities and drive the transformation of the industry.
What is the S-WIN Innovation Agenda?
The S-WIN Innovation Agenda is a flexible and groundbreaking foundation for innovation projects in the forestry and wood industry. It defines concrete measures in the areas of wood procurement, wood-based materials, timber construction, and biomass products and energy. The goal is to create a dynamic innovation landscape and actively support the transformation of the industry.
Strategic goals and the Innovation Roadmap 2030
The strategic objectives and strategic measures of the S-WIN Innovation Agenda are based on the S-WIN Innovation Roadmap 2030. The measures in the Innovation Agenda are updated annually to incorporate and further develop progress within the industry.
From vision to implementation
To implement these measures, S-WIN develops inspiring action proposals and concrete activities that can be used as a basis for individual project ideas. These proposals serve as a source of inspiration and a starting point for anyone who wants to actively shape the future of the forestry and timber industry.
