Finland's forests, covering about 75 % of our land area, teem with abundant natural ingredients - from Arctic peat to willow bark extract.
Finland is the sixth largest producer of paper and board. The forests and the forest industries combined, account for for about 7 % of the country's gross domestic production and approximately of our tangible export.

This treasure box of raw materials combined with advanced technological know-how and strategic biotech engineering will catapult new forest based super brands to the market.
Collaboration to stay competitive:
Innovative research and development in Finland elsewhere will help us to rise to these challenges.
Nothing stays same in a dynamic globalising world of emerging economic powers and increasing stream of new products competing with established goods.
Collaboration to stay competitive:
- universities
- research laboratories
- independent consultants
- applied research
- sharing expertise
- productive partnerships

- the weakening US dollar is changing trading patterns
- US export to Europe will increas
- weakening buying power in US affects Asian consumer goods production
- Chinese and Asian paper mills will become active in Europe as well
- focusing research
- transnational research
- reallocating existing resources
- investing new assets into areas most relevant to economy and society
- sustainable solutions
- good and effective strategic choices
- cooperation of traditional forestry and innovative networking strategy partners
- Energy and the environment
- Metal products and mechanical engineering
- Health and well-being of the P&P employees and machine operators
- Information communication manufacturing and services
- The forest cluster
- New structures of the programs
- Coordination of international research cooperation can be complex
- Each country has different research organizations and mechanisms to oversee and fund research programs and activities
- Long term strategic research and innovation
- The forest technology platform
- Coordinate and integrate research programs
- Instruments and tools needed for cooperation and integration between local and global programs
Research related to forest sector in Finland covers a far wider set of product types than in other countries. In the past, research on the European level was also fragmented and resources wasted.
