The first day of IWB Week had a lot to offer its participants.

The event Opening Ceremony attracted more than two hundred attendees and offered a very interesting program. The event, opened by Swedish Minister of Rural Affairs, Sven-Erik Bucht and the Chairman of Södra, Lena Ek focused on forest resources as well as sustainable bioeconomy of tomorrow. After the opening ceremony there was a very appreciated panel discussion about the policy of using biomass. The event continued by a focus session on sustainable and intelligent bioeconomy.

The exhibition floor was offering many successful meetings including presentations and talks from the Open Seminars stage.

The IWB Week After Work featuring the release of Innventias Global Outlook Report: “A Cellulose-Based Society” was a great success and gave the IWB Week participants a well-deserved and relaxed few hours with networking, mingling, nice food and drinks. Several exhibitors entertained their customers at their stands.
