In a move that capitalizes on collective forestry knowledge and a commitment to smarter, sustainable use of natural resources, Finland and the states of Maine and Michigan are elevating a cooperative effort in bioeconomy and clean technologies, according to a news release made available through the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
Maine and Michigan, like Finland, are heavily wooded states with long traditions in the forest industry, the release noted, and all three see great opportunities in working together in the transition toward a modern, sustainable bioeconomy that supports growth while protecting long-term forest health.
The cooperation provides many opportunities for companies and researchers on both sides of the Atlantic, and it's an effort that is moving forward at a fast pace, per the release.
