Investment and Financing Forum - What is this? Economic turbulence threatens the blue skies of the forest sector. Common to many countries is the “real economy” crisis. But unprecedented challenges call for unprecedented solutions. Many are involved: TIMOs, forest and investment funds, banks, governments, large forest corporations, forest industries, development institutions. And the political agenda is looking for a breath of clean air – from the forest sector.
Target groups - Who is it for? We’re looking for visionary change-oriented thinkers. Daring thinkers from the financing community and the private sector to engage in dynamic dialogue. Many business sectors are revolving in and around forests: renewable energy, bio-tech & pharma, forestbased carbon, ecosystem services. Do you have the leadership to show how forest-based industries can foster green growth? Get down with producers and forest corporations and design together new horizons for economic rebound.
Objective of the e-Forum – Why should I participate? Do you want to arrive at the XIII WFC with a new vision of forestdependent business clusters? We need to meet beforehand. Sit comfortably at your computer. We’ll be meeting on an electronic Forum (e-Forum), to ensure participation from all corners of the globe. This will be an informal space for exchanging thoughts, experiences, visions. A moderator will lead the discussion, ensuring that all have their say in an exciting debate articulated in two sessions: - Morning Session: New Strategies, Restructuring and Investments - Afternoon Session: Financing for Change

If you care… If you are ready to share lessons learned, good and bad practices, what worked and what didn’t. If you care for energy efficiency and green competitiveness – we’ll make this happen on the e-Forum. The crisis can be overcome - it can be defeated. Together.
