We take advantage of the opportunities of digitalisation for forestry, and through this we contribute to the transformation of our society into a circular bioeconomy. The vision of the programme is to create digital solutions for a sustainable and efficient forest bioeconomy.
BillerudKorsnäs goes digital on marking and nature management – the result shows great potential.
A research group at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences is working with multispectral laser scanning.
Researchers are developping systems that can handle both risks and uncertainties due to insect infestations and storm damage.
The rapid development of digitalisation can perhaps be seen as the opposite of the long cycle times of Swedish forestry. However, both digitalisation and forestry have a lot in common and above all, they are both important keys to finding solutions to the climate crisis.
Forestry is part of the solution to the climate question and is driving growth in the global bioeconomy. This is self-evident in countries such as Sweden but in other parts of the EU, bioeconomy and forestry are seen somewhat differently.
Biodiversity impacts from forestry is currently under debate. But it's difficult to measure, and some of the methods currently available are not well adapted to Swedish conditions. So researchers are developing new methods for carrying out these assessments in the future.
Mistra Digital Forest – get the whole picture in three minutes!
A new survey provides a picture of the current degree of digital maturity in Swedish forestry. The results are based on interviews with some of Sweden’s largest forest companies, and have been carried out within the Mistra Digital Forest research program.
Mistra Digital Forest is funded by Mistra and other actors. The program is led by the Swedish Forest Industries Federation, the partners in the program are BillerudKorsnäs, Holmen, SCA, Stora Enso, Sveaskog, Södra, SLU, IVL, Skogforsk, Umeå University and KTH.
