After almost a year without major sector events, we invite you to join us on Monday and Tuesday (June 28-29) in Opatija for the 18th Wood Technology Conference !
The beginning of the pandemic seemed to many woodworkers last year like a black hole or entering the darkest tunnel. The disruption of supply chains, high container prices, disruptions in global logistics, and the election of a new US president have contributed to the launch of unprecedented demand, the spiral of which has led to historically high wood prices within a few months. The post-pandemic wood market will be one of the main topics of the conference, and other current issues, problems, and examples of good practice will also be discussed.
Thematic highlights:
- pandemic wood market and raw material shortage
- analysis of the current situation in the sector
- EU policies and EU projects
- energy from wood
- market position of Croatian products on the global market
- trends in technology development
- branding and promotion of wood as a material
- the problem of employee deficit
- automation and innovation, greater representation of women in forestry and presentation of the Fem4Forest project
It is expected that the gathering will traditionally bring together numerous wood processors, foresters, manufacturers of parquet, construction carpentry and furniture, biomass processors, wood and furniture dealers, investors, suppliers of technologies and raw materials, representatives of sector fairs, university and high school professors and representatives of competent institutions.
