Changing market expectations have prompted our efforts to further develop our business portfolio. The result of this is Innovare, our youngest business division, a business area responding to the increased demand for sustainable products and innovations within the forest industry.
Ekman Innovare focuses on identifying, scaling, and commercializing promising products, innovations, and collaborations with significant growth potential.
Ekman brings deep expertise in forestry-related products and markets, along with a broad network of stakeholders spanning the entire value chain and with Innovare, we are committed to promoting a more sustainable and profitable business model that centers on renewable resources.
In addition, Innovare serves as a strategic resource for each division to assist in further development of their portfolios, optimize current offerings, and explore new opportunities within their existing operations. By leveraging Innovare, divisions can enhance innovation, identify growth areas, and stay ahead of market trends while reinforcing their core business.
The Innovare team is also responsible for Challenge the Fabric (CTF), which is a cross-industry initiative and unique platform that enables the entire supply chain of man-made cellulosic fibers (MMCF) to come together to share insights and foster connections that drive innovation and efficiency. Through interactive sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, the yearly conference aims to break down silos and build a cohesive network that supports the growth and resilience of the MMCF supply chain.
