3 hoursDescription
Join us for a high-energy, future-focused workshop designed to explore the megatrends transforming forestry in New Zealand and beyond. From climate change and digital disruption to shifting trade dynamics, geopolitical shifts, and evolving societal expectations—these forces are already reshaping the sector.
This workshop is a call to action for senior industry thought leaders, strategists, innovators, and policymakers to: identify and unpack global and regional megatrends impacting forestry, explore plausible future scenarios and their implications, and co-design strategic responses to build resilience and seize emerging opportunities
The insights generated will directly inform the development of a multi-year research programme. Your input is vital to ensure a robust evaluation of future research directions — considering the long-term scope and significant investment needed to develop new forestry models and product pathways.
Who should attend: Senior leaders and decision-makers shaping the future of forestry in Aotearoa
Location: Manaakitanga, Scion, Rotorua
Facilitator: Mark Buntzen (The Distillery)
