Swedish Wood

PRESS RELEASE In collaboration with industry organisation Swedish Wood, 27 students on the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management programme at KTH, most of them from Singapore, were asked to develop applications for Swedish pine. Creative solutions to social problems and strong ties to both nature and health can be seen in what the students produced.

PRESS RELEASE Swedish pine has pride of place as the industry organisation Swedish Wood, architectural practice In Praise of Shadows and furniture manufacturer Källemo join forces for the Swedish association of architects’ exhibition at the ongoing Architecture Biennale in Venice. As a wood nation, Sweden has plenty to offer at this time when forest resources and wood construction are in sharp focus in the UN’s 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.

PRESS RELEASE At European Wood’s meeting on Tuesday 29 May, Jörgen Hermansson of Swedish forest company Södra was appointed the new chairman, succeeding Jan Söderlind of the industry organisation Swedish Wood. European Wood is a collaborative platform based around the European sawmill industry whose aim is to influence building regulations and standardisation, primarily in China and Japan. In addition to Sweden, which is responsible for coordinating the work, the body also includes representatives from the sawmill industry in Norway, Finland and Austria.
