Program Purpose
The objective of the Forest Innovation Program (FIP) is to enable transformation in the Canadian forest industry. More specifically, the FIP will help drive forest sector transformation, sparking enterprises in their move beyond a dependence on commodity products toward value-added, high-value and specialty products – sustainably extracting the maximum value from the fibre resource. To achieve this, the FIP will facilitate and promote a value-chain approach that addresses innovation from the seed to the end markets and products in which the right fibre is matched to the right product.
Program Purpose (French)
L’objectif du programme d’Innovation Forestière (PIF) est de permettre la transformation de l’industrie forestière canadienne. Plus précisément, le PIF contribuera à la transformation du secteur forestier en incitant les entreprises à passer d’une dépendance à l’égard des produits de base à des produits à valeur ajoutée, à forte valeur et spécialisés, en extrayant durablement la valeur maximale de la ressource en fibres. Pour ce faire, le PIF facilitera et encouragera une approche de la chaîne de valeur qui aborde l’innovation depuis la semence jusqu’aux marchés et produits finaux, en associant la bonne fibre au bon produit.
