Innovation and export of wood and furniture in Võru County and Vidzeme Planning Region (Wood & Furniture)

The main business sectors in Latvia and Estonia have been wood processing for years, however, about 40% of the timber exported abroad is unprocessed. In order to strengthen and promote the export capacity of the Baltic States in the wood processing and furniture sector, the Vidzeme Planning Region, in co-operation with the Võru County Vocational Training Centre, Estonia, has launched the project “Innovation and export of wood and furniture in Võru County and Vidzeme Planning Region”. The project involves public authorities, entrepreneurs and education representatives to jointly find ways for a successful and innovative product marketing and export.
