Evergreen Innovation Camp 2023

The international wood industry gathered in Vienna for the final event of the 48h Hackathon. From 9 to 11 October, the HS Timber Group powered by Evergreen Private Foundation hosted the third Evergreen Innovation Camp in Vienna. The focus: a 48-hour hackathon in which ten teams from over 30 European universities and 19 countries put their creativity to the test. Their goal: to master the 'Viral Wood' challenge. The camp culminated in a gala at Vienna City Hall, where the winning team was crowned.
 

Viral Wood Challenge 
The mission of the teams was to create a social media video within 48 hours from Monday to Wednesday. The video had to highlight the sustainable importance of the wood industry for the Circular Economy, especially for the digital-savvy young Generation Z. All teams showed their work to a renowned jury of wood and communication experts. Three teams, Woodloop, Holzome and Jollywood, prevailed. Team Woodloop finally impressed the most with a video that presented the diversity and advantages of wood processing.

A highlight: The Evergreen Innovation Camp does not only focus on innovation at the hackathon. It also breaks new ground in the industry. In cooperation with the EOS - European Organisation of the Sawmill Industry - this year the Vienna City Hall served as the stage for the extraordinary event on the eve of the 71st International Softwood Conference. The get-together of the international timber industry, especially representatives of the international sawmill industry, offered many opportunities to make contacts and exchange ideas.
