Collaborative R&D Initiatives Will Help Grow Tomorrow's Technologies

The paper & pulp industry needs innovations in manufacturing processes and products to remain competitive. However, as we all know the ongoing decline in R&D investment is creating a current and future lack of capacity for innovation and is raising serious concerns about where tomorrow's technologies will come from.

One of the best methods for addressing this reduction in technology investment is to bring the industry together for the co-development of new technologies.

The central focus of a new initiative, Agenda 2020, is to promote and encourage collaborative R&D as a public/private partnership.

Join an upcoming webinar on December 7 to learn more about the Agenda 2020 initiative and the R&D funding opportunities that are available for your organization.
