Significance of bioeconomy for Finland

Finland seeks to increase its bioeconomy output to 100bn euros by 2025 and to create 100,000 new jobs.

Bioeconomy combines wood processing, chemistry, energy, construction. It is about technology, food and health.

Forest based bioeconomyaccounts for 2/3 of the turnover

BioNets – Network and Profit

Finnish companies have strong know-how on bio-based raw materials.

In business, the customer orientation is the key. Circular economy and
