In recent years, small and medium-sized companies within the county's wood industry have participated in several successful projects that were carried out with TBN as organizer. The most recent project, Utmana Urbaniseringen (UU), has focused on the development of business owners and management. The project has had a very large impact and owners and management have been encouraged and strengthened in an extremely practical and challenging way.
The large number of participants in project UU has been inspiring. About 30 companies have participated and cooperation between the companies has been an important and consistent theme. The project has attracted a lot of attention from financiers and authorities as an exemplary example of how it is possible to engage so many companies within the framework of the same project. The coaching industry in Västerbotten is well-reputed for its successes in terms of cooperation.
A new project, Träindustrin i Utveckling, has now been initiated with the aim of offering, over a three-year period, increased support as a sounding board and idea inspirer to both companies and academia so that small and medium-sized companies in the wood sector can maintain and develop the collaborative benefits that the Utmana Urbanisingen project has shown to be possible .
