The leading global summit for the transformation of the built environment through biobased building.
Leading Conversations
The conference day brings together senior leaders and innovators for sharp keynotes, focused debates, and grounded project insights that cut through the noise. It’s a concise, high‑level forum designed to clarify where the sector is heading, surface practical opportunities, and build the connections needed to drive responsible timber and biobased construction forward.
Biobased City Tour
The Biobased City Tour offers exclusive access to standout timber and hybrid projects, guided by the practitioners who delivered them. Through a curated sequence of visits, participants see biobased construction in action, gain practical insight into real‑world solutions, and connect with peers exploring similar approaches. It’s an immersive, on‑the‑ground experience that makes the transition to biobased building tangible.
