‒ New competence and know-how have already been applied for our recent Joutseno PS investment in June 2013 – Increased pulping yield by glucomannan stabilisation with own process development

‒ In the “forestry” part, new tools to ensure better wood availability in the future have been built and also tools for a more cost-efficient wood procurement value chain

‒ Own spin-off projects in planning

Our motivation to take part in joint research programs:‒Being part of open innovation is today a must‒FIBIC programs aim to build strong Finnish competence platforms‒Focused joint research is a cost-efficient way to get high quality research results

How to improve:‒The greatest challenges relate to IPR issues (with the current system IPR islands are avoided, but, on the other hand, program partners are quite guarded and half-hearted in terms of the actual research)‒For the future joint research programs we must find focused “basic research” topics. Are there such left?

‒We have to keep existing basic industry viable to develop it further
