‒ New competence and know-how have already been applied for our
recent Joutseno PS investment in June 2013 – Increased pulping yield
by glucomannan stabilisation with own process development
‒ In the “forestry” part, new tools to ensure better wood availability in the
future have been built and also tools for a more cost-efficient wood
procurement value chain
‒ Own spin-off projects in planning

Our motivation to take part in joint research programs:
‒ Being part of open innovation is today a must
‒ FIBIC programs aim to build strong Finnish competence platforms
‒ Focused joint research is a cost-efficient way to get high quality research results
How to improve:
‒ The greatest challenges relate to IPR issues (with the current system IPR islands are avoided, but, on
the other hand, program partners are quite guarded and half-hearted in terms of the actual research)
‒ For the future joint research programs we must find focused “basic research” topics. Are there such
left?
‒ We have to keep existing basic industry viable to develop it further

Thanks!
