Today is the first day of the Bioeconomy Trade and Study Mission to Finland. We visited three businesses essential to Finland’s Bioeconomy Plan: Stora Enso, UPM, and Valment.
First stop: Stora Enso
Stora Enso is a leading provider of renewable products in packaging, biomaterials, and wooden construction.
Finding new sustainable, high margin uses for harvested trees is key to Finland’s bioeconomy plan. Stora Enso is at the heart of this effort. Visit their website product page to learn more. https://www.storaenso.com/en/products
Next stop UPM
UPM manufactures fiber products, wood products, molecular bioproducts and low-emission energy. These business areas are connected with a common idea: to create value from renewable and recyclable raw materials by synthesizing them with know-how and technology.
Our last stop of the day: Valmet
“Valmet is a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries. With our automation systems and flow control solutions we serve an even wider base of process industries.”
Valmet makes the things that enable the bioeconomy.
Tomorrow we meet with leaders in Finland’s government to discuss policy and future plans for the bioeconomy.
