Dec 07, 2009. /Lesprom Network/. The forest-based sector in Finland is updating its common research strategy, responding to changes in the operating environment. The revised research strategy will be published during the spring 2010, Nordic Paper Journal reported. The forest-based sector of Finland published its national research strategy, which steers the industry’s R&D investments, in 2006. The operating environment for the forest industry has, however, evolved rapidly since then. “The updating of the research strategy will take advantage of the scenarios presented by the Finnish Business and Policy Forum, EVA, during the spring this year. The change factors affecting the forest cluster will complement these scenarios,” says Christine Hagström-Näsi, CEO of the Finnish forest industry research organization, Forestcluster.
