ABOUT
The Wood Solution Thailand Forum 2026
Brings together the pioneers of Thailand's sustainable timber construction industry. A space to exchange knowledge, forge partnerships, and advance the strategies this movement needs to scale at this critical moment of climate urgency and economic opportunity.
From forest growers to architects, researchers to policymakers, timber processors to investors, if you believe that sustainable timber construction, rooted in locally managed forests, is one of the most powerful levers we have for rural development, economic growth, and climate resilience
-we hope to see you there

ABOUT EVENT
Why are we gathering?
Since 2022, the Thailand-Nordic Countries Innovation Unit (TNIU), under the Royal Thai Embassy in Stockholm, together with the Eco-Innovation Foundation (EIF) and a growing network of Thai and Swedish partners, has been laying the groundwork for wood innovation ecosystem in Thailand, building awareness, expanding networks, and fostering collaboration across two countries united by a shared conviction.
This year, with the further support and collaboration from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), we are taking this movement to the next stage of the engagement phase.
The Wood Solution Thailand Forum is a critical step in this phase, bringing together the full value chain across sectors and borders, and transforming years of dialogue and awareness into collective action. At a time defined by urgency, untapped potential, and fragmented systems, connection and cross-sector innovation are essential to building a resilient and future-ready industry.
At the heart of this gathering is a simple but powerful question: what does it truly mean to grow together across the value chain, across sectors, and across borders?
