The future is wood: innovation in timber construction

Across Europe and beyond, engineered timber is transforming the way we build, offering a renewable, low-emission alternative to traditional materials. Advances in material science now make it possible to create strong, versatile wooden structures that meet modern performance and safety standards. This shift signals a broader transition toward sustainable construction and circular bioeconomy principles.
