Abstract: Current research focuses on the scantly researched international forest mapping business services (FMBS). FM producing technologies are increasingly studied but seldom the business use or exporting of those are studied. Today, FMs are produced by lidar technology, drones and/or mobile phones. Combination of these technologies provide detailed FMs where location, height and species can be identified among other information. FMs are usually bought by government, municipals, cities, companies and even individual forest owners and they can react to growth of forest by selling it or then calculate estimations when to sell the forest. Our research aims to chart the international business services potential of FMs business by interviewing five expert interviews in Finland. Finland is chosen as 75% of Finland is covered by forest and advanced FM technology is developed and used in Finland. As a result, the study shows different views and paths for internationalization of forest map business.
