Forest-Based Sector Technology Platform (FTP)
• CEI-Bois1, CEPF2 and CEPI3 have started a project to set up a Technology Platform for forest-based sector.
• Objectives of the project: – Organise the production of a vision document which includes
e.g. common vision for the sector, challenges and strategic goals.
– Mobilise key stakeholders to participate in the process. – Organise launching event with the Commission.– Planning the next stage (e.g. for strategic research agenda,
organisation, funding etc.)
