“…Value creation is the main TP, followed by an efficiency increase. While this perspective does not imply that bio-products and technology are totally neglected, it suggests moving away from a purely linear technological innovation into a more complex, non-linear innovation process that involves several interactions among different sectors and actors (Rametsteiner and Weiss 2006 ; Secco et al 2018 ).…”

This article provides useful information for universities offering forestry programs and facing the growing demand for bioeconomy education. An explorative survey on bioeconomy perception among 1400 students enrolled in 29 universities across nine European countries offering forestry programs was performed. The data have been elaborated via descriptive statistics and cluster analysis. Around 70% of respondents have heard about the bioeconomy, mainly through university courses. Students perceive forestry as the most important sector for bioeconomy; however, the extent of perceived importance of forestry varies between countries, most significantly across groups of countries along a North–South European axis. Although differences across bachelor and master programs are less pronounced, they shed light on how bioeconomy is addressed by university programs and the level of student satisfaction with this. These differences and particularities are relevant for potential development routes towards comprehensive bioeconomy curricula at European forestry universities with a forestry focus.

“…Moreover, the industry has started to underline how its product and material innovations are path-breaking as they solve grand global challenges and create a pathway to a more sustainable future (Business Finland 2020; CLIC Innovation 2020; CEPI 2021c; The Finnish Forest Industries Federation 2022). However, the traditional view on innovations could be reconfigured (Rametsteiner and Weiss 2006;Secco et al 2019) and a more systemic view, where both companies and the environment they operate in are considered (Weiss et al 2020). Similarly, sustainability aspects could be considered more holistically in innovations by acknowledging the nested nature of environmental, social and economic dimensions and planetary boundaries (Boons and Lüdeke-Freund 2013;Folke et al 2016).…”

“…Simultaneously, it seems that the promise of path-breakingness has not yet been delivered as most of the biorefineries today are mainly manufacturing traditional products, and thus are not fully responding to the ideas of the sustainable circular bioeconomy (Temmes and Peck 2020). In addition, regarding the fulfilment of social sustainability, there have been conflicts between the local people and pulp and paper companies concerning e.g., land property and human rights, especially in the Global South (Myllylä and Takala 2011;Gonzalez-Porras et al 2021), and the sustainable innovations have lacked the social dimension in terms of the roles of different stakeholders (Secco et al 2019;Weiss et al 2021).…”

Global economic, social and environmental change drivers have tremendous effects on the dynamic and nested business environment calling for a sustainability transition to a circular bioeconomy. The transition will pressurise established industries to alter their value creation logic to consider sustainability holistically. The study follows a case study research strategy and investigates how an established Finnish pulp and paper industry reconfigures its communicated value creation logic. The findings of a qualitative document analysis suggest that the pulp and paper industry has started to explore new sustainable path-breaking innovations and create a common development agenda, which has resulted in incremental adaptations in the value creation logic. However, the industry’s narrative of already being sustainable has hampered the reconfiguration and stabilisation of the adapted value creation logic. From a theoretical perspective, adopting an interdisciplinary and systemic perspective is necessary to understand the changing business environment. From a managerial perspective, cross-sectoral collaboration and including perspectives of different actors can help in creating a holistically sustainable value creation logic.
