FEATURE STORY
The Swedish bioeconomy startups branching out beyond forestry
Forests cover more than 70% of Sweden's land area, the largest proportion of any EU country. Sweden is a world-leading producer of forest products and naturally, its bioeconomy is dominated by wood. Sweden may be known for its wood products but many startups in the bioeconomy are going beyond the forest.
Partnering to Make a Successful, Sustainable and Lasting Impact.
Today, we are sharing the third video from our friends at Leaf, in which Pierre Basuyaux presents their approach to partnerships, based on flexible models and built around common visions.
Stay posted for the last video of this takeover coming your way soon!
