Innovation in Every Fiber - Film Premiere and Panel Discussion

Be there for the world premiere of Innovation in Every Fiber, a documentary movie tracing breakthrough paths in the bioeconomy, followed by insightful panel discussion: Forest growth & economic growth: Can we achieve both? tacking declining forest carbon sinks, biodiversity loss and sustainable economic growth, featuring panelists Prof. Audrey Moores (McGill University), Paula Lehtomäki (Finnish Forest Industries Federation), Jyrki Alkio (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment) and Ville Niinistö (MEP) and moderated by Amel Gaily.
FinnCERES Innovation in Every Fiber - Film Premiere 25th May 2026 - Seminar 26th May 2026. Celebrating Eight Years of Research Impact in Bio-Based Materials.

In this event, we are committed to Aalto University’s principles for a safer space.

Principles for a safe space

Innovation in Every Fiber follows eight years of groundbreaking research from FinnCERES Flagship Programme at Aalto University and VTT, where scientists and innovators are rethinking how to replace fossil raw materials with bio-based alternatives. The focus: efficiency, circularity, and value creation.

The film spotlights recycled and wood-based textiles designed to outlast fast fashion, lightweight foams that replace plastics, bio-based dyes and coatings that eliminate toxic waste, and lignin innovations that open paths to adhesives, optics, and even energy storage. By making every fraction of biomass count—from cellulose to hemicellulose and lignin—these breakthroughs show how less material can lead to greater impact.

Innovation in Every Fiber is a call to reimagine how we use our precious renewable resources: not in bulk, but with precision, creativity, and purpose. It celebrates scientists working together to build solutions that add value while respecting planetary limits.
