Are you ready to embark on a circular journey towards a fossil-free future? Business Finland and the Consulate General of Finland, New York, are excited to invite you to an exclusive webinar in collaboration with Material ConneXion, where we'll explore how nature-inspired and nature-derived innovations are creating a positive impact in the world.

With its rich, abundant forest resources and commitment to innovation, Finland is well-positioned to harness the power of responsibly sourced and processed renewable feedstocks for developing ecological products. This presentation provides a glimpse into current barriers to the adoption of biomaterials and how these Finnish companies are seamlessly integrating natural and recycled inputs drawn from the forest and agricultural sectors using green chemistry to create safe, high-performance, low-impact materials that address modern needs in packaging and textiles, among other sectors. Let’s work together to harmonize a resourceful, nature-centric approach with cutting-edge technology to steer the consumer goods industry toward a resilient future based on sustainable practices and renewable value propositions.
