Forest Business Accelerator

The forest has for a long time created great value for us in Sweden. From trees, timber and pulp to modern processing in new industries. Forest raw materials can today be used as a climate-smart alternative for everything from packaging, cosmetics, clothing and fuel.

Research in this area is intensive and the forest industry is a active part to create growth in today's and the futures bioeconomy. By cross-fertilizing forests with digitization and entrepreneurship, we can create new solutions, for both better business and a greener world.

Who can apply?

Companies with great knowledge and with the goal of commercializing their innovation and creating value related to forests, forest industry or forest raw materials.

Focus areas

We are looking for sustainable business ideas where the focus is forest. This means that the forest orientation is a given, but that cross-fertilization with other industries and areas can vary. To qualify for the program, you must have a forest innovation ready or be able to identify the forest as a new market area.

Accelerate your business

The program includes seven months of business development. Based on set goals, business models and strategies, we work together towards commercializing and internationalizing your company's product or service in larger markets.
