Notice Title

CivTech 5 - Challenge 1 - Optimising the Timber Supply Chain

Notice Description

How can we use technology to understand what timber products can be harvested from Scotland's forests, and from where, so we can optimise the way we meet market demands and make our forests go further? Timber is hugely important across a wide range of supply chains including everything from construction and packaging to the manufacture of vital PPE equipment. Different timber products are needed to meet different demands, and identifying the best sites from which to harvest these from across the thousands of hectares Forestry and Land Scotland manages is a huge challenge. The aim of this Challenge is to find new innovative approaches to help Forestry and Land Scotland gather more data about the national forest estate, enabling it to optimise operational efficiency and so respond better to demands from the market for specific types of timber. There is a wide variety of new technologies that could modernise the current approach, either by themselves or in combination, and a solution that can addresses this Challenge will have truly global market potential, and could therefore play a significant role in supporting an industry sector that is critical to Scotland's economy.

Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create solutions to public sector problems as quickly and effectively as possible.

You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond to them. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the emerging product to the world.

                "description": "How can we use technology to understand what timber products can be harvested from Scotland's forests, and from where, so we can optimise the way we meet market demands and make our forests go further? Timber is hugely important across a wide range of supply chains including everything from construction and packaging to the manufacture of vital PPE equipment. Different timber products are needed to meet different demands, and identifying the best sites from which to harvest these from across the thousands of hectares Forestry and Land Scotland manages is a huge challenge. The aim of this Challenge is to find new innovative approaches to help Forestry and Land Scotland gather more data about the national forest estate, enabling it to optimise operational efficiency and so respond better to demands from the market for specific types of timber. There is a wide variety of new technologies that could modernise the current approach, either by themselves or in combination, and a solution that can addresses this Challenge will have truly global market potential, and could therefore play a significant role in supporting an industry sector that is critical to Scotland's economy.

                "description": "About CivTech CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create solutions to public sector problems as quickly and effectively as possible. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond to them. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the emerging product to the world.
