Dear Sir or Madam,

We cordially invite you to our traditional meeting in Graz, bringing together approximately 500 experts and stakeholders from the international pulp, paper and biorefinery industries. Together with a wide range of topics you can expect an interesting trade show and pleasant social events.

As initiators, our goal is to provide a platform for future-oriented impulses. We are confident that we will reach this target again this year where we are placing a special focus on one of the biggest topics of the future…
 

PAPER FOR FUTURE!

The signs cannot be ignored or downplayed: The question today is no longer whether the climate is changing but only about whether we can combat this development to alleviate its effects. 

This makes climate protection the most important topic in society, politics, business and research. We in the pulp and paper industry already placed it at the very top of our agenda years ago. Because only sustainable business is intelligent business.

We have long proven that competitiveness and climate protection are compatible. We manage to do that above all through the especially integrated use of the natural resource that is wood. With great innovative strength and willingness to invest, we are preparing the way as pioneers for a sustainable "bio-economy" and are thus making a valuable contribution to climate protection. This makes us an important part of the solution in the attainment of our global climate targets. We are facing up to the associated challenges and rigorously pursuing the path that we have taken.

In this spirit, we look forward to welcoming you to Graz for inspiring and trendsetting discussions!
