"Smart Transition" and " Tillverka i Trä " Highlighted Sustainable Construction at Nordbygg

During Nordbygg, industry professionals from across the construction sector gathered to discuss sustainable solutions for the future. Also on stage were Smart Omställning and Tillverka i Trä, which together demonstrated how collaboration can contribute to more resource-efficient and climate-smart construction.

Jan Oscarsson, project manager for Smart Omställning at Innovatum Science Park, spoke about the project’s efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises through innovation, knowledge sharing, and sustainable business opportunities. He also highlighted how the network Tillverka i Trä helps companies develop new partnerships and find ways to move toward a more circular construction sector.

Also appearing on stage were member companies Woodbe and Verkstadsbolaget, who shared their experiences with the network and how collaboration has created new opportunities for development and business.

“The goal of both the project and the network is to contribute to more efficient wood construction and reduce the construction sector’s climate impact. By bringing together companies, expertise, and new ideas, we can accelerate the transition and create more opportunities for sustainable growth,” says Jan Oscarsson of Innovatum Science Park.

Nordbygg thus became an important platform for sharing knowledge, making new connections, and highlighting the opportunities available in sustainable and circular construction.

Smart Transition is a collaborative project between Innovatum Science Park and University West. The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund, the Västra Götaland Region, and the Halland Region.
