The world’s leading forestry fair, Elmia Wood 2022in Jönköping, Sweden, was held on 2 – 4 June. Nearly 26,000 visitors walked determinedly around the trail that took them to over 270 exhibitors from 22 different countries.
As usual for Elmia Wood, the fair offered both technological innovations and smart start-up ideas that we are sure to see more of in future. The theme of the fair, “The value of forests for the innovative and sustainable forestry of the future”, clearly shaped the discussions, not least at the successful Wood Let’s Talk venue, which attracted many people to sit down and listen to exciting debates and lectures. It was also gratifying to see the many interested participants in the new knowledge initiative: the Innovation Loop.
“Our exhibitors are very satisfied, in some cases above their expectations. And the great atmosphere testified to the visitors’ satisfaction too. I am particularly pleased that the forests’ importance to Sweden and the world from a climate perspective so clearly characterised the fair,” says Anders Roman, programme manager for Elmia Wood. Elmia Wood will open its doors again in May/June 2025.
