New newsletter out with the latest news from the Processum Biorefinery Cluster
Spring is here, bringing with it new energy and growth. Start-ups in forestry innovation are stepping up a gear, new circular materials are being developed from textile waste, and international cluster exchanges are strengthening the bioeconomy in practice. You can read about all this and much more in our latest newsletter.
Thesis students contributing to future bio‑based solutions
Each spring, RISE opens its research environment in Örnsköldsvik to thesis students who want to apply their academic knowledge in an industrially relevant context. In spring 2026, MSc students joined ongoing research at RISE, contributing to the development of future bio‑based solutions. A significant part of this work was carried out within Processum’s R&D Council which supports needs-driven research.

Study visit to the Sotenäs Symbiosis Centre provided new insights into circular collaborations between land and sea
During the autumn, participants from Sweden and Norway gathered at Sotenäs Symbiosis Center for an educational and inspiring study visit as part of the 'Circular Synergies between Land and Sea' project. Over the course of three intensive days, participants witnessed first-hand how circular systems are already generating value by forging concrete and innovative connections between marine and land-based industries.
