FORESTRISE 2026: Next Generation Forest Industry Exhibition at Tokyo Big Sight

FORESTRISE 2026, the 5th Next Generation Forest Industry Exhibition, will be held at Tokyo Big Sight from September 16th to 18th, 2026. This exhibition serves as a hub for innovations in the forest industry, driven by the growing trend of "wood utilization" for a decarbonized society and the increasing interest in wood-derived materials as alternatives to plastics.

Pioneering Technologies and Solutions for the Future of Forestry

In recent years, the increased use of wood in buildings and wood-derived materials has drawn significant attention to the forest industry. The "Comprehensive Measures for Green Growth in Forestry and the Forest Products Industry" by the Japanese government aims to substantially increase domestic timber supply by 2030, making forest consolidation and the establishment of stable, sustainable supply systems urgent priorities, often leveraging digital technologies. FORESTRISE 2026 capitalizes on the growth potential of this market and the strong interest in "wood change" by bringing together products and technologies that enhance productivity, safety, and profitability in forestry, as well as those that reduce labor intensity and save effort. Solutions for strengthening forest resilience and sustainability will also be showcased.

A Platform for Business Opportunities and Cross-Industry Exchange

The exhibition aims to foster new business opportunities through business negotiations and networking. It is designed to be a platform where all stakeholders involved with forests and timber can expand their networks and create cross-industry synergy through open innovation. The exhibitor list features diverse innovative products and services, such as technologies for 3D forest mapping, countermeasures against wildlife damage using biodegradable materials, and AI-driven automated forest management planning. Detailed exhibitor information and highlights can be found on the official website.

Seminars for Smart Forestry and Problem-Solving Insights

Concurrent with the exhibition, the FORESTRISE Seminars will offer a variety of themes aimed at promoting the implementation of smart forestry that creates new value, alongside keywords addressing challenges in forestry administration and on-site operations. These sessions are valuable opportunities to foster a shift in thinking and encourage the adoption of new technologies. Please check the official website for the latest seminar program details.
