Overview

Description:

OWIC’s mission is to improve the competitiveness of Oregon’s wood products industry by fostering innovation in products, processes and business systems.

A key function is to serve as the primary link between university research and needs and opportunities in the forest industry, which has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. A key OWIC tool that helps connect forest landowners and mill owners is the Oregon Forest Industry Directory, orforestdirectory.com, which connects buyers and sellers of forest products and services.
