Developments in the international wood product markets, European sectoral policies, as well as domestic issues of availability and distribution of raw material, instalation of new drying technology and tooling, as well as pellet production and cogeneration are important for this year’s programme. Lack of working force will be also emphasized, since it is one of the biggest problem and the challenge of this industry.

More than 250 participants are expected, as well as and important support from relevant ministries and other domestic and EU institutions.
