 @AlexandreMoulard

With over 489 exhibitors and brands already registered, the next edition of the leading timber trade show in France is promising to be a good vintage! Over a third of the companies already committed are international (from no fewer than 15 countries) and a quarter are exhibiting for the first time, bringing a breath of fresh air to this new edition!

Eurobois covers a wide range of fields associated with wood, from the processing of the material to tools via robotics, treatments and finishes, as well as interior design. As a meeting place for all these different sectors, the show plays an essential role at every stage of working with wood. The event is also a real catalyst for innovation, highlighting the latest new ideas with a programme rich in activities and events offering training, information, discussion and discoveries of all the most recent market news.

Focused as ever on the key issues facing the industry, the 2024 edition will highlight four major themes: employment and training, primary processing, industry 4.0 and interior design. These strategic areas all represent opportunities to stimulate innovation, encourage synergies between the sector's stakeholders and consolidate timber's leadership as the material of the future.

 

“Only 100 days left before the doors open at Eurobois! A chance for us to share the momentum propelling our exhibition… In line with the dynamism of the sector as a whole. I have to say I am proud of the GreenTech+ teams, who are working hard every day to offer an inspiring, immersive event with in-person, life-sized demonstrations. These include the European Young Carpenters Championship organised by Compagnons du Devoir, the Cohome interior design laboratory set up by Équipementiers de l'Ameublement Français, and an exclusive workshop on timber-framed houses. And of course, it's part of our DNA to ensure that no stone is left unturned (happy hours, cocktail receptions, business meeting zone, etc.) to encourage a friendly atmosphere and simple, informal meetings throughout the four days of a show designed on a human scale. We can't wait to welcome you!”

– Florence Rousson Mompo, director of the GreenTech+ division
