Kebony at the 2026 International Wood Construction Forum

A major event for sustainable construction and development, the International Wood Construction Forum brings together professionals in specification, project management, and construction, all committed to the forestry-wood, bio-/geo-sourced, and reuse sectors. Its mission: to support the adaptation of buildings and living environments to climate challenges. Over the years, the event has established itself as a leading platform dedicated to climate-responsive architecture, innovative industrial solutions, and next-generation materials.

Kebony announces its participation in the 2026 edition of the Forum

A loyal partner of the Forum, Kebony presents its innovations there every year and shares the principles of its patented technology developed in Norway. This technology transforms softwood from sustainably managed forests using a bio-based process: the wood is heated with a plant-based liquid, causing its cell walls to polymerize. This treatment gives the material performance comparable to that of tropical hardwoods, while significantly reducing its environmental impact.

The theme of the 2026 edition, "Facing the Climate," particularly resonates with Kebony's commitment. It invites collective reflection on the concrete solutions that the Forest-Wood sector, as well as bio-based/geo-sourced and reused materials, can provide in the face of the climate emergency.

Sustainable integration for a virtuous project

During its 2025 edition, the International Wood Construction Forum brought together nearly 16.000 entries over three days, presented more than 60 innovations at the Innovation Tribune and hosted more than 90 architecture firms in the Gallery of 21st Century Wood and Bio-based Architecture.
