Open Innovation Project with the Nordic Council

Cortus has recently participated in an Open Innovation project, initiated by the Nordic Council. The project scope is to develop an open market place, where innovation, intellectual capital and property rights can be brokered, and to test the theories of Open Innovation.

Cortus submitted a challenge on char upgrading, which will further improve the efficiency of our WoodRoll® technology.

Cortus would like to thank the Nordic Council for the opportunity to participate in this project and also the Masters students from St. Petersburg University (SPU) in Russia that submitted creative and innovative solutions to our challenge.
