This document summarizes the key findings of the EFFORTE Business Forum held in Helsinki on June 19th, 2019. The EFFORTE project involved 23 partners from 5 countries working to increase the efficiency and sustainability of forestry operations through research in 3 areas: 1) soil mechanics and trafficability, 2) efficient silviculture, and 3) applications of big data. The project ran from 2016-2019 with a total budget of 4.15 million euros. Research activities included experimental studies of forest soil types in Finland and France, as well as developing models and applications to optimize operations related to soil assessment, planting, young stand management, and harnessing various data sources like remote sensing. Overall the collaboration between researchers and
