Wood Tube: Patented paper studs that replace steel when constructing interior walls, which saves money, decreases greenhouse gas emissions, and improves the working conditions for the carpenters.

FineCell: New technology to produce nanocellulose in the form of a dry powder – easier to integrate and use in packaging and other industries.

Nordluft: A drone-based spreading system for forestry and agriculture, combining high capacity drones, a base system truck and AI-powered controls system

Arboair: A forest scanning technology to detect infected or stressed tree with 4K cameras and color shift analysis

Silvibio: A novel biobased seed coating, which provides a source of moisture and sustained nutrition to improve germination by up to 40% in dry conditions.

The jury consists of representatives from Stora Enso, Paper Province, Gunnar Sundblad’s Foundation, Business Värmland and Sveaskog.
