2 Participants Maria Andersson, Lunds Universitet Jan Lagerström, Skogsindustrierna Catharina Ottestam, Innventia Camilla Rööst, Södra

3 A Bio-based Economy An economy that is based on the sustainable production of biomass with the aim of reducing climate impact and the usage of fossil-based resources. A bio-based economy is further defined by an increase in the processing value of biomass, while energy utilisation is minimised and end products capitalise on industry and energy. The aim is to optimise the value of ecosystem services and contribute to the economy.

4 Visions The vision for the strategic innovation area is: Sweden will have completed the conversion to a bio-based economy during the first half of the twenty-first century. measured as processing value

5 Global Challenges Global warming Tightening supplies of energy, water and food Ageing societies and public health
