Innventia's RISE appoints Marco Lucisano as new head of the division Bioeconomy. Marco Lucisano will take office on August 1, 2018, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

In the future circular bioeconomy, forest-based renewable products can replace many of today's fossil-based. RISE is an important player in this direction through the division Bioeconomy.

The Bioeconomy division works across the entire chain from raw materials to finished bio-based materials, chemicals and fuels. The division's pilot plants and other test beds play an important role in scaling up processes to produce these.

Marco Lucisano was born in 1973 in Italy, holds a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering and a PhD from KTH Royal Institute of Technology with the dissertation "On Heat and Paper: From Hot Pressing to Impulse Technology" in 2002. Marco Lucisano has been working in the research institute sector since 2004 and comes from a position as Vice President, Papermaking & Packaging at RISE.
