Seminars
This workshop will bring together industry experts to explore how mass timber and bio-based materials are advancing from innovation to real-world utilization, with a focus on scaling from pilot projects to large, complex developments. It will examine the critical capabilities needed to enable this transition, alongside the role of the bio-based economy in unlocking value from underutilized resources.
This workshop will discuss:
- How are emerging materials transitioning from pilots to large-scale, complex projects, such as data centers and infrastructure, and what capabilities are needed to scale successfully?
- What role can the bio-based economy play in unlocking value from underutilized resources, such as small-diameter and low-value timber, to improve supply efficiency and reduce waste at scale?
- What does it take to balance design ambition with durability, weather performance, and lifecycle requirements to enable true mainstream adoption?
