On October 24, 2024, Linnaeus University and Interior Cluster Sweden will host the FOREST 4.0 conference in Växjö, Sweden, inviting the project’s coordinator, partners, and distinguished guests. In collaboration with Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas University of Technology, AgriFood Lithuania, and ART21, this conference will highlight interdisciplinary research in forestry, computer and information sciences, and building engineering.
The FOREST 4.0 conference supports the project’s long-term goal of transforming forest monitoring through digital technologies such as AI and IoT. Therefore, the event will present the university’s innovative scientific research at the intersection of computer science and information technology, as well as forestry and wood technology, with a strong emphasis on innovations across the value chain. This is particularly significant given the deep-rooted traditions that Sweden and Lithuania possess in these industries, which serve as foundational pillars of our regional economies.
During the event, industry representatives from Lithuania and Sweden will participate in a distinguished panel to discuss the significance of research and innovation for business competitiveness in the forestry sector. This will provide a unique opportunity to view the subject from a cross-sector perspective while exploring how forestry data can yield new insights, create value propositions for customers, and foster new business models within a circular economy.
This conference is organized as part of the EU Horizon Project: FOREST 4.0 | lnu.se. Its objective is to create a Centre of Excellence that will revolutionize the monitoring, data acquisition, and analysis of forest environments while also deriving value from the collected data.
