Biomass Expo 2019 Nagano

To create partnerships and exchange
concerning the revitalisation of the“forest industry”
that integrates forestry, wood industry and woody biomass.
Japan is one of the foremost forest nations. The planted
forests that were created after the war enhanced opportunities
to use domestically produced wood as well as moving into afull-scale use period and the regeneration of forestry and therevitalisation of the forestry products industry are a reality.
However, there are still many issues in this reality and it isessential to create new value while having mutual partnerships
and cooperation with the distribution and wood processing
companies that connect forestry, forest products industry andwoody biomass.
With the theme of forestry and biomass, the first International
Wood Fair was held in May 2017. In 2019, the exhibition has
reborn as "FORESTRISE Innovative & Integrative Woods
Industries" with the desire to integrate forestry, wood industry
and woody biomass, that have in common forestry resources.
At the same time as gathering together all the advanced
products and technology from Japan and overseas that are

indispensable to the development of the“forest industry”as awhole, the exhibition will promote next-generation technology
such as ICT/IoT, drones, AI and robots.
Seminars aiming to find solutions to practical issues, knowledge
acquisition and study will be held, attracting many industryrelated people. The seminars will encourage people in allsorts of positions to exchange and, by providing opportunities
to think about the forest industry laterally, will support therevitalisation of the whole industry from the side lines.
Biomass Expo Nagano will also be held simultaneously
continuing on from last time. We expect visitors related towoody biomass as well.
We hope that you will be able to actively use this bi-annual
exhibition as an opportunity to anticipate securing market
share and as a platform for PR and discussions about yourtechnology and products.

The International Wood Fair will be reborn as

FORESTRISE Innovative & Integrative Woods Industries 2019
for its second outing.

Innovative & Integrative Woods Industries build the next generation that use new technology such as ICT/IoT, drones, AI and robots as well as
advanced skills and know-how from overseas. As one industry, the forest industry, encompasses and develops forestry, the forestry products
industry and, further, woody biomass utilisation, that have their foundations in forest resources together. We hope it will be a combination of
exhibitors that promotes products, technology and activities and an exhibition where visitors can exchange about forests.
FORESTRISE is an amalgamation of two words: forest from forest industry and rise from sunrise, people rising, quantities rising, prices risingand the rise of something (as in its beginning). It was created in the hope of regenerating and revitalising the forest industry.
