2026 Shanghai International Timber and Wood Products Exhibition

In the era where the "dual carbon" goals and the green building wave intersect, the wood industry, as the only renewable raw material globally, is becoming the core carrier for low-carbon transformation in the construction sector. From August 5 to 7, 2026, the Shanghai Green Building Expo and the Shanghai International Timber and Wood Products Exhibition will be held concurrently at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Hall under the theme "Renewing the Timber Industry: Building a Zero-Carbon Future," aiming to create a premier platform for the ecological development of the complete wood industry chain globally.

This exhibition will deeply integrate innovations in green building and timber industries, focusing on three core directions: sustainable material research and development, smart manufacturing technologies, and comprehensive application solutions. By showcasing cutting-edge results such as formaldehyde-free panels, bamboo-wrapped composite materials, and Al timber defect detection systems, it aims to facilitate the upgrade of the timber industry from traditional processing to low-carbon, intelligent, and high-end production. Furthermore, the exhibition will collaborate with international organizations such as FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) and INBAR (International Network for Bamboo and Rattan) to release the "Global Timber Technology Trends Blue Book," establishing a green standard and certification system for the timber industry, empowering Chinese solutions to lead global timber transformation.

As a benchmark event in the industry, the exhibition will adopt a "technology exhibition + forum + business matching" integrative model to build a collaborative platform for government, enterprises, academia, and research institutions. The International Timber Innovation Forum will invite top global experts to interpret policies and technological pathways; the "Belt and Road" timber investment matching event will facilitate collaboration projects on forest resources in Southeast Asia and Africa. The ancient wood revitalization art exhibition will connect traditional craftsmanship with modern design through the restoration techniques of the Forbidden City. The exhibition meticulously adheres to the "Green Exhibition Standards," with all exhibited products passing environmental certifications, striving to create a low-carbon demonstration benchmark.

At this historical juncture of timber industry innovation, we sincerely invite timber professionals, pioneers in the construction sector, investment institutions, and policymakers from around the globe to Shanghai to explore the infinite possibilities of timber in zero-carbon buildings, working hand in hand to write a new chapter towards a green future! By leveraging the "three-in-one" advantages of industrial chain collaboration, innovation chain empowerment, and international chain interaction, this exhibition injects strong momentum into the industry. It connects upstream and downstream resources, spans the entire link from timber raw materials, processing equipment, to finished product applications, gathering over 340 top global brands and cutting-edge technologies, showcasing core solutions such as flexible manufacturing and eco-friendly materials. Additionally, with a focus on intelligent manufacturing and green transformation, the exhibition addresses the challenges of balancing efficiency, cost, and quality within the industry through scenario-based displays and professional forums. By establishing high-standard international linkages, it attracts professional buyers from over 37 countries worldwide, building cross-border trade bridges and assisting enterprises in connecting with global markets. The deep integration of these aspects not only smooths out industrial bottlenecks but also leads the trends of development, becoming a core engine driving the high-quality and global development of the industry.
