InnovaWood is a major European network in the forestry, woodworking and furniture sector. The overall aim is to bring business benefit to the value chain by providing a forum for the member organisations and contribute to the competitive development of Europe’s forest-based sector. Founded in 2003, the network represents today 50 member organisations from 27 countries in Europe and overseas in the field of research, innovation, education, training and knowledge transfer. These include leading research institutes and technical centres in the entire value chain from forestry and wood processing to construction, furniture and biorefinery. InnovaWood represents a common voice for promoting wider impacts from innovative uses of wood, Europe’s most underdeveloped, important renewable raw material, in line with the major policies of the European Union. InnovaWood communicates this message effectively towards decision-makers in policy, administration and industry on the European and national level, and supports its members in various European joint actions and projects.
