Forest innovation
Last updated on September 18, 2026British Columbia commits to adapt, adopt and develop technologies and innovations to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the B.C. forest sector. This will accelerate the transition from a conventional forest economy towards a local, sustainable forest bioeconomy.
Collaborating across academic and industry sectors
The province collaborates with academic and industry partners such as the Bioproducts Institute, the B.C. Pulp and Paper Bioproducts Alliance, and FPInnovations. Partner organizations support research and manufacturing of advanced bioproducts, including developing new high-value biomaterials, biochemicals and high-tech applications.
Indigenous Forest Bioeconomy Framework annual reports
The Indigenous Forestry Program annual report offers highlights from completed projects. These projects range from non-timber forest products and value-added wood production to advanced biomaterials and they contribute to the creation of new jobs while celebrating communities.
Annual reports:
The province is developing an interactive forest management system to provide users with an accurate estimate on the availability and cost of forest residual biomass in B.C. This will support evidence informed decision making to support economic development, Indigenous engagement and climate action.
