We do this by developing methods, models and digital tools that contribute to a digital forestry value chain that to pave the way for a circular bioeconomy.

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.
Digitalisation is advancing rapidly, and assessments of biological diversity and conservation values can soon be made with the support of digital technology. A new method developed by researchers within Mistra Digital Forest for this purpose has been evaluated at Södra.
Streamlining and better precision are two cornerstones needed to make forestry even more sustainable, and to further extend the use of the timber raw material. Urban Nilsson, professor at SLU, is involved in two projects that promote precisely this.
Proposals for methods for calculating various sustainability indicators have been presented in a report produced by IVL Swedish Environmental Institute within Mistra Digital Forest. The idea is that the indicators will help in the assessment of various aspects of sustainability, in terms of future alternatives for producing and using raw materials from the Swedish forest.
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.
