We will do this by highlighting good circular business ideas and contributing to commercialization and upscaling. We see the benefits of collaborating across the Norway-Sweden border because we have a number of forest-based businesses based on the same raw materials and geography. So we believe that the chances of succeeding in both scaling up circular solutions and developing innovation systems are greater when we expand the geography and learn from each other.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This week, we gathered all project partners for a kickoff in Sunne. The project is run by the business clusters Paper Province and Norwegian Wood Cluster. We have five strong innovation environments in the region on board: Klosser Innovation, Kjeller Innovation, Circular Packaging Cluster, Dalarna Science Park and Innovatum Science Park. We&#8217;re proud to have a good group of people with a lot of varied experience in innovation and business development.   <\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1756388498239_462\" class=\"\">The CBA project runs for three years (August 23-July 26) and is funded through Interreg Sweden-Norway with support from Innlandet County Council, Viken County Council, Region Dalarna, Region V\u00e4rmland, Region V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland and Vinnova.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;166316&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;900&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1745&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;153177&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;1748&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;410807&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Circular Bioeconomy Arena &#8211; a project to develop tomorrow&#8217;s circular forest products and services &#8211; is underway.
