The Future of Wood – Traceable, Touchable, Intelligent

The conference will be held in English.

Join us for a day where we explore technology integrated today and how visions of the future, emerging technologies, and new mindsets shape a sustainable, intelligent, and emotionally resonant forests value change. 

At the conference you will be exposed to present-day innovations that could give a hint of what’s to come. What could be the possibilities when systems are truly integrated - how could that transform the value chain and create a more sustainable future? 

You will hear key notes from different actors in the value chain and join a discussion about how a digital ecosystem of different tech, innovations and knowledge can be interconnected. Together we will visualize how this connected ecosystem could look like in the future and open our minds to the possibilities of creating a more sustainable wood industry.
