Please note: The event will be conducted in German.

The forestry and timber sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Challenges such as climate change, an increasing shortage of skilled workers, growing documentation and compliance requirements, and the need for reliable data to support decision-making demand new approaches and innovative solutions. Digital technologies offer significant opportunities to address these challenges – from more efficient data collection and the networking of machines and systems to the optimisation of workflows in both forest operations and timber businesses.

As part of our project’s technology showcase, companies, organisations, and other interested participants will gain practical insights into current developments and applications of digital technologies in the forestry and timber sector. The event demonstrates how modern technologies are already being applied in both research and practice, highlighting their potential to shape the future of the industry.

The programme includes expert presentations on current research and development projects, opportunities for professional exchange, and live demonstrations of innovative technologies. Particular emphasis will be placed on the practical applications of 5G communications, LoRaWAN networks, and drone technologies. Through real-world examples, participants will discover how digital solutions can enhance communication, data collection, and operational processes, even in remote and challenging environments.

The event also offers numerous opportunities to engage directly with researchers, technology specialists, and professionals from the forestry and timber sector. By combining the latest research findings with practical use cases, the technology showcase provides a platform for knowledge transfer, networking, and fresh ideas to support the digital transformation of the industry.
