VILLAGE2030 (BY2030)
The platform BY2030 was a long-term investment in a meeting place for stakeholders in sustainable construction. BY2030 was a meeting place / platform that would facilitate the creation of research and development projects in collaboration when building a sustainable society. This was done by getting the different perspectives from academia, society and business to meet and have conversations about themes and issues that were of common interest. BY2030 contributed to increase collaboration and increase ability to innovate and accelerate research and contribute to competence support. This was done by arranging seminars and meetings and developing study visits for stakeholders in wood construction in collaboration with the region, municipality, academy and business.
