Forestry Research Institute of Sweden

Skogforsk is Sweden’s national applied institute for forestry, headquartered in Uppsala Science Park with additional locations in Sävar and Ekebo. Industry integration is built in: core programs are co‑financed under a long‑term framework where the forestry sector and the state each fund half, enabling rapid, deployment‑oriented pilots. The institute convenes companies and equipment makers around interoperable data and machine standards, coordinating the StanForD harvester data standard, and provides contract research, field trials, and training. Funding combines the government–industry framework with additional grants and fee‑for‑service work. A structured partner program and knowledge‑transfer services support implementation at scale.
