Partnership is not a new concept for Stora Enso. However, in the past few years, we have increaded the collaborations with startups companies on the innovation path as well as research organisations and academic institutions. These partnerships are mutually beneficial, bringing resources, capabilities and insights to one that the other lacks and vice versa, or simply combining the ‘brain power’ of two for a common aim. With Sulapac, the company will concentrate on combatting the global problem of plastic waste by accelerating the use of renewable materials in packaging. With TRÄ Group, the focus is on making the specification of wooden buildings easier and attaining smarter construction with a digital platform and toolbox that connects industry professionals throughout the value chain.
