Complementary information:

FTP’s National Support Groups are quite unique, even among European Technology Platforms, and they have a pivotal role in strengthening the European dimension while at the same time strengthening national and regional agendas by the implementation of their National Research Agendas.
The role of FTP and its National Support Groups (NSGs) is to bring together industry, forest owners, researchers and public authorities in a way that maximises the chances of realising the FTP Vision for 2030 by cooperative research, development and innovation projects. Focus and strong support from European policymakers and both EU-, and Member State funding providers is vital for success although industry, forest owners and researchers will be primarily responsible for the work necessary. This is a win-win collaboration in which the forest-based sector and the society both benefit.

The forest-based sector technology platform is set up as a limited company under Belgium law (sprl). Owners are the following European Confederations: the European Confederation of Woodworking Industries (CEI-Bois), the Confederation of European Forest Owners (CEPF), the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) and later joined by the European State Forest Association (EUSTAFOR), who jointly saw the necessity of establishing a Technology Platform for the forest-based sector.
