THE PROJECT / O PROJEKTU

The wood industry in the Danube region, as well as other industries which are based on a timber, have the potential to become the motor of a viable and competitive economy, but, unfortunately, suffer from a significant difference, with a low level of internationalization, the lack of co-operation, and so the lack of innovation. Hence arose the project FORESDA to support the transformation of traditional sectors resting on forestry in the Danube region. / Drvna industrija u Dunavskom regionu, kao i druge privredne grane koje su oslonjene na šumarstvo, imaju potencijal da postanu motor održive i konkurentne privrede, ali nažalost, pate od značajnih razlika, niskog nivoa internacionalizacije, nedostatka saradnje, nedostatka inovacija itd. Otuda je nastao projekat FORESDA u cilju podrške transformaciji tradicionalnih sektora oslonjenih na šumarstvo u Dunavskom regionu.
