FTP represents its members and the forest-based value chain in several key European Partnerships, including Processes4Planet, Built4People and CBE JU. These partnerships bring together stakeholders from industry, research, and public sectors to address pressing societal challenges and foster innovation within specific industries.

To further expand its influence, FTP has now joined another important partnership, Made in Europe—former Factories of the Future initiative under Horizon 2020—through the private-sector organization EFFRA (European Factories of the Future Research Association). This particular partnership focuses on manufacturing technologies, and FTP’s involvement ensures that the next generation of manufacturing equipment will be designed with the specific needs of the forest-based industries in mind.
