Services for Future Forestry
•A service design project exploring
future forestry services and
entrepreneurships in the value chains
of the forest-based bio economy
•To open up for new thinking when
looking at services for a future
sustainable forestry in Sweden.
•The assignment is for students course
Industrial Design Intensive (IDI) to
1) to identify possibilities for new services,
2) to explore and develop concepts, together
with potential users and stakeholder, on
services for a future forestry in Sweden based
on the different environmental objectives.
