Forest-Based Sector Technology Platform (FTP)
CEI-Bois1, CEPF2 and CEPI3 have started a project to
set up a Technology Platform for the 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 the development of the Strategic
Research Agenda and other deliverables.
Planning the implementation stage.

Why a technology platform?
The sector
Is of a broad private and public interest.
Concerns all EU-countries.
Needs to interlink different parts of the forestbased sector.
Is characterised by long and complicated supply
chains from tree to consumer.
Requires access to a multiplicity of competencies
and experiences.

FTP aims at
Meeting the multifunctional demands on
forest resources and their sustainable
management.
Strengthening competitiveness.
Strengthening position as the global
technology leader.
Promoting sustainability - a competitive
advantage for the forest-based sector.
Carrying out more efficient R&D.
