Strategic Areas of Research* Increased growth in sustainably managed forests Enhanced competitiveness for existing processes and products Large sustainable produced and managed forests are the foundation for forest-based industry and a growing bioeconomy. The continuous development of existing processes and products is fundamental in the development of a competitive bioeconomy. Increased industrial timber construction Development of new biobased products The most commonly used, renewable construction material in the world has a bright future ahead when sustainability is brought to the fore. Replacing fossil-based materials and products with renewable, recyclable and degradable ones is key to a sustainable development *) Swedish Forest-based Sector Research Agenda 4.0
