6 WHO IS INVESTING IN RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT? Compared to the world leaders within R&D, Australia s investment and number of researchers are low R&D Investment (USD billion) R&D Investment by Country (2013) % 3% 21% Other China Japan R&D as a % of GDP Japan South Korea Finland % Europe Germany China US Australia 39% North America India Indonesia Malaysia Mexico Researchers per people Source: Battelle, Strateg&. Size represents annual R&D spending COPYRIGHT PÖYRY IFA SYMPOSIUM-12 MAY,
7 SHIFT IN THE INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH FUNDING ENVIRONMENT The Asian share of global R&D is expected to continue to increase, driven by China, Japan and Korea, while in the US and Europe, shares are expected to decrease. China s growing economy is likely to be the key driver in the country s commitment to R&D. The US and Europe are expected to remain global leaders in high-quality research output. However, the balance is shifting. In Africa, the Middle East and South America, R&D remains relatively small, albeit with some noteworthy national initiatives. COPYRIGHT PÖYRY IFA SYMPOSIUM-12 MAY,

Koala bears in Blue Gum plantations Problem/ Opportunity R&D Solution Unexpected problems can arise any day (see case studies) Scientists require years of training Knowledge bases take years to develop Build-up of expert communities takes years May require years of dedicated research/ funding COPYRIGHT PÖYRY IFA SYMPOSIUM-12 MAY,

16 WHAT HINDERS R&D INVESTMENT? Despite strong links between R&D, productivity and economic benefits, delays in innovation outcome hinder R&D investment Challenges Overcoming Challenges Focus on short-term financial results (hypothesis: Australian forests today increasingly controlled by financial owners) Measurement of R&D impact on business success Long-term commitment needed Delays between innovation and adoption Undetermined return on investment Attractiveness of R&D investment in Australia vs peers (Brazil, Canada, NZ) e.g. government incentives to R&D Gap between technology research and implementation Industry demographics. More forward thinking industry leaders? Education of the industry s largely new financial owners? Misconception we are an established industry that knows everything already Better standardised approaches to evaluate and value R&D projects. Effective communication of R&D outcomes (FWPA good example) Learn from more innovative peers (e.g. Finland and Canada) Close the physical/distance gap between R&D centres and beneficiaries.

17 THREE SHORT CASE STUDIES COPYRIGHT PÖYRY IFA SYMPOSIUM-12 MAY,
18 CASE STUDY #1: IMPACT OF R&D UNDER-INVESTMENT ACACIA MANGIUM PEST AND DISEASE Situation Issue Required Action Ceratocystis wilt is a disease found in Acacia Mangium (AM), the main plantation species planted in South-east Asia to supply the pulp & paper, sawmilling and panel industries. As a result, Ceratocystis wilt has now become a major threat to plantations in Southeast Asia, yields are in decline and thousands of hectares of infected trees are dying. Despite some R&D investment to improve yield, stem and fibre properties, there was limited knowledge about the AM specie s resistance (provenances,clones). No/limited existing platforms for industry collaboration, joint funding. Increase knowledge about biological control options Address shortage of R&D specialist skills Need comprehensive solution: tree breeding. hybridisation, biological control, genetic modification, silvicultural management options.

19 CASE STUDY #2: PHYTOPHTHORA PINIFOLIA ASSOCIATED WITH SERIOUS NEEDLE DISEASE OF P. RADIATA IN CHILE Problem In Feb 2004 unusual tree mortality appeared in 6-year old P. radiata (70 ha on Arauco coast of Chile). In the same area serious needle blight disease was observed. Damage increased to cover ha by the end of Was quickly regarded as the most serious problem yet to affect the country s pine forestry. R&D results showed cause to be a previously- undescribed Phytophthora sp. Mortality was probably hastened by opportunistic fungi such as Diplodia pinea. Scientific Opinion Pers.comm. Professor Mike J. Wingfield Over time, cascading effect with diseases and pests of introduced forestry species. Evidence - as time passes, gradual increase in the numbers of pests and pathogens to contend with. Some are more important than others - but the costs rise and the ROI drops. Example: P. radiata has slowly but surely petered out in South Africa - Dothistroma, then Diplodia, then Sirex, then Pitch Canker. R&D Implication Requires increasing investment in research - breeding, selection, hybridization etc... Australia and New Zealand have been fortunate with P. radiata thus far- well, also careful with GREAT QUARANTINE. But how long can the gates hold?

20 CASE STUDY #3: METSÄ FIBRE ANNOUNCES EUR1.1 BILLION BIO-PRODUCT MILL IN FINLAND Made possible through dedicated R&D and new innovations Annual pulp production capacity of 1.3 million tonnes World's first next-generation bio-product mill that can convert wood raw material into bio-energy and various bio-materials in a resource-efficient way Unique bio-economy ecosystem of companies will be built around pulp production Annual impact on the Finnish economy will be over EUR0.5 billion Will provide jobs in the forest industry value chain Annual export increase of EUR0.5 billion. No use of any fossil-based fuels; all energy will be generated from wood The wood raw material and side streams will be utilised 100% as products and bio-energy The mill will increase the consumption of fibre wood in Finland by approximately 4 million cubic metres (some 10%) per year EIA and environmental permit processes to be launched immediately. Expect completion by the first quarter of Final investment decision to be made in early The new mill would become operational during Source: 1 COPYRIGHT PÖYRY IFA SYMPOSIUM-12 MAY,
21 CONCLUSIONS Globally, the forestry sector is lagging in R&D investment when compared to other industries In Australia we are seeing a worrying decline in forestry R&D investment No industry has ever prospered without significant R&D investment and innovation The forest industry is particularly complex as it is founded on the biological sciences. The underlying biology and environment is constantly changing, and there are limitations to our understanding of these complex sciences. If we do not maintain investment in R&D it will be to our own peril Problems such as tree diseases appear overnight. They have the potential to make significant impact and can take years to solve New innovative technologies such as bio-refineries require years of investment in innovation R&D expertise takes years to build or to rebuild WE MUST REMAIN COMMITED TO THE FUTURE OF OUR INDUSTRY AND INVEST RESPONSIBLY WITH A LONG-TERM FOCUS IN MIND.
