See why industry leaders keep coming back year after year

“TechTour is a powerful launchpad for our bioeconomy startups and scaleups — connecting bold ideas with the capital, industry access, and partnerships needed to scale.”
Alexander Pinter
Alexander PinterManaging Director
Holzcluster Steiermark GmbH
"Beyond providing amazing materials such as wood, cork, and resins, forests are essential for healthy air, clean water, thriving soils, and rich biodiversity. The forest bioeconomy invites us to build an economy that valorises and strengthens our nature, instead of working against it. Because a healthy natural environment is also the foundation for thriving human societies."
