InnoForESt - Smart information, governa...

The objective of InnoForESt is to spark a transformation of the European forest sector by stimulating innovations for the sustainable supply and financing of forest ecosystem services. The project will support the governance of viable innovations and a multi-actor network by building on pioneer policy tools and business models, by establishing new alliances, and by involving key stakeholders from forest and forest-related policy, administration and business. InnoForESt will establish six real world pilots, including the LTSER region Eisenwurzen in Austria, that represent a range of successful coordination approaches and business models. As core element, digital and physical innovation platforms will function as hubs and as spaces for exchange and learning. Thus, the project will facilitate the transfer and up-scaling of existing niche models identified and the development of new innovations, to demonstrate the feasibility of alternative income streams from a diverse set forest ecosystem services.
