Your Future Workplace

The Swedish Forest Agency creates value by using technologies such as AI for image analysis and machine learning, as well as by creating user-friendly services for forest owners, forestry companies, and those who simply want to enjoy nature.

This is done by making the vast amounts of information about forests that we have accessible in a simple way to both the forestry sector and other service developers. Satellite images, maps, and the underlying data for these are areas where we are at the forefront, and in raster development/image analysis, we are leading in Sweden. The digitization within the forestry sector is an area that gives us new opportunities to create even more value and innovative services for the preservation and utilization of Sweden's most important raw material, the forest.
