Project summary: 

In recent years, there have been some important investments in Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) projects in forestry. This project set out to create conditions for product and/or service innovation and, thus, transfer value to the production chain in forestry and agriculture and to rural areas. Specific activities undertaken include the  development of a digital knowledge platform and the creation of a collaborative network between R&D&I and end users. The project also provides knowledge transfer and technical assistance.

Project results: 

The systematisation and analysis of technical and scientific information will enable a more effective information transfer to forestry, agricultural, and rural development organisations, as well as to entrepreneurs.

A collaborative network was established as a forum for discussion and information sharing between the project partners.
