The project is the next phase of an initiative initiated in 2012 and intends to establish a new innovation arena as part of the development plan for the Wargön area. The focus is primarily on material innovations linked to forests, textiles and chemistry, based on a low-carbon approach. The project is based on the finding that there is a crucial system gap in the national innovation chain, which greatly complicates material innovations to develop from idea to commercial products. The project intends to bridge this gap by offering support in business and technology development in a physical environment for upscaling (test and demonstration environment) that promotes innovation, disseminates knowledge and generates collaboration between industry, academia and society.
