  2. Forest-Based Sector Technology Platform (FTP) INTRODUCTION

  3. CREDO OF THE FOREST-BASED SECTOR TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM (DRAFT) Renewable materials for a more sustainable and competitive Europe

  4. New business concepts Better fulfillment ofcustomer needs Successful down-stream industries Energy production Contribution to the general well-being Reuse, recovery, recycling World leading suppliers Balance in forests’ different uses Secured availability of raw material for the forest-based industry Sustainable forest management FTP’s contributions to a sustainable society

  5. Process schedule

  6. Forest-Based Sector Technology Platform (FTP) • CEI-Bois1, CEPF2 and CEPI3 have started a project to set up a Technology Platform for forest-based sector. • Objectives of the project: • Organise the production of a vision document which includes e.g. common vision for the sector, challenges and strategic goals. • Mobilise key stakeholders to participate in the process. • Organise launching event with the Commission. • Planning the next stage (e.g. for strategic research agenda, organisation, funding etc.) 1 European Confederation of Woodworking Industries 2 Confederation of European Forest Owners 3 Confederation of European Paper Industries

  7. FTP project organisation for stage 1 and 2 European industry and forest owners High Level Group Advisory committee Scientificcouncil Project National support teams

  8. Concrete targets of the FTP • Strengthened position as the global technology leader. • Increased value in the products through innovation. • Reduced capital intensity. • More efficient utilisation of raw materials. • Improved energy efficiency and increased use of bioenergy. • Key contributor to sustainable development.
