BUILD IN WOOD 2026

BUILD IN WOOD 2026: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Construction in Copenhagen
May 19–20, 2026 | Copenhagen, Denmark

BUILD IN WOOD 2026 returns to Copenhagen as Europe’s premier summit dedicated to advancing wood-based construction, sustainability, and innovation. Hosted in a city renowned for its green leadership, this two-day event brings together architects, engineers, policymakers, developers, and material experts to explore how timber is revolutionizing the built environment. With climate urgency driving demand for low-carbon solutions, BUILD IN WOOD 2026 will spotlight wood’s pivotal role in creating resilient, eco-friendly cities.

Themes and Focus Areas
The conference centers on four core pillars:
1. Sustainable Urbanization: Strategies for integrating timber into high-density developments, including mass timber skyscrapers and modular housing.
2. Carbon-Neutral Construction: Deep dives into life-cycle assessments, carbon sequestration in wood, and achieving net-zero building standards.
3. Technological Innovation: Showcases of AI-driven design tools, robotics in prefabrication, and advanced engineered timber products like CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) and DLT (Dowel-Laminated Timber).
4. Policy and Economics: Regulatory frameworks supporting timber construction, financing models for green projects, and scalable supply chains.

Event Highlights
Attendees can expect a dynamic blend of keynotes, workshops, and exhibitions:
- Keynote Speakers: Global leaders in sustainability, such as architects advocating for "wood-first" policies and researchers on fire-safety innovations in tall timber buildings.
- Case Studies: Real-world projects like Copenhagen’s upcoming wood neighborhoods and international icons like the Mjøstårnet skyscraper (Norway).
- Exhibition Hall: A showcase of cutting-edge timber products, from sustainable adhesives to digital fabrication tools, alongside live demos of assembly techniques.
- Networking Forums: Structured sessions connecting startups with investors, and policymakers with industry trailblazers to foster collaboration.

Why Copenhagen?
Denmark’s capital is the ideal backdrop, having pioneered timber construction in urban renewal projects like the Ørestad district. The city’s 2025 Climate Plan mandates carbon-neutral buildings by 2030, making BUILD IN WOOD 2026 a critical platform for sharing actionable insights.

Who Should Attend?
- Professionals: Architects, engineers, and contractors seeking expertise in timber engineering.
- Decision-Makers: Developers and municipal leaders exploring sustainable development models.
- Innovators: Tech companies and startups showcasing disruptive solutions.
- Students and Academics: Engaging with research and future career opportunities.

The Imperative for Wood
As the construction industry contributes ~39% of global carbon emissions, BUILD IN WOOD 2026 underscores timber’s potential to transform this sector. Wood not only sequesters carbon but also offers faster construction times and superior thermal performance. This event is a call to action—reimagining cities as living ecosystems where nature and innovation converge.
