The core of SCA's business is the forest - 2.6 million hectares in northern Sweden. Around this unique resource, we have built a well-developed value chain based on renewable raw materials from our own and others' forests. We offer paper for packaging and printing, pulp, wood products, renewable energy, services for forest owners and efficient transport solutions.
SCA about the accelerator
Many exciting and promising future initiatives exist within SCA, but it is of course impossible to focus on all potentially interesting tracks. That's why we need entrepreneurs who can develop and commercialize concepts that go beyond what we ourselves are investing in. An entrepreneurial company can form a structure and culture that is optimal for the development of completely new products and businesses where extremely quick decisions are part of everyday life. However, what is often missing is the power of resources, knowledge, contacts and business experience that large companies possess. A well thought-out collaboration between entrepreneurs and large companies provides interesting conditions for creating completely new values.
Forest Business Accelerator is an important platform for enabling a fruitful exchange between SCA Forest Products and entrepreneurs. We are convinced that the accelerator will be able to open doors to new interesting dialogues, relationships and collaborations.
A particularly interesting and highly relevant component of the forest accelerator is the cross-connection between the forest industry and digitalization. Today's society, industry and business are affected and expected to be increasingly affected by the development made possible by digitalization. Therefore, it has been obvious to start a forestry accelerator with a clear link to digitalization together with BizMaker and IBM.
SCA Forest Products sees the accelerator as an initiative aimed at creating a seedbed for transformative innovations. It is very interesting to bring together entrepreneurs around the forest industry to create new opportunities for the future.
