‒ 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
