# Future Forest Forum Harz 2022

## **That was our forum 2022!**

From August 19th to 20th, our forum took place at Blankenburg Castle in the Harz Mountains once again. Back in 2021, a wide variety of stakeholders from the forestry sector, business, science and the start-up scene were successfully networked and learned a great amount from (and with) each other. With this year's forum, we were able to set new benchmarks to promote a sustainable future of the forest ecosystem. In this context, we expanded our main event with many program points as well as formats from our [Accelerator program](https://www.futureforest.de/accelerator?hsLang=en). Numerous inputs, keynotes & startup pitches around forest innovation were deepened by interactive workshops in a barcamp format. Thanks to various opportunities for networking and exchange with renowned experts from different fields, forest owners and investors, the first interdisciplinary practical projects have already been tackled!

[We will report more details on the results of the forum as well as insights into newly created synergies in our newsletter.](https://share-eu1.hsforms.com/1SdXt2tuHQKeH17sD-7fTbweyanz)

## **DAY 2 - SATURDAY 20 AUGUST**

| **9.15** |  |
| --- | --- |
| #### Introduction to day 2 |  |
|   ###### Co-Working Space |  |
| **10.00** |  |
| #### Welcoming #### Barcamp Session Planing Participants present any workshop ideas in plenary. A vote among the participants will then identify the most popular topics, which will then be included as workshops in the Barcamp sessions starting at 12 noon. It therefore depends on the persuasiveness of the idea generator:in whether a topic is put on the agenda. Note: *A barcamp is an open conference with open workshops whose content and schedule are developed by the participants themselves at the beginning of the conference and shaped in the further course. Barcamps serve the exchange of content and discussion, but can also show concrete results at the end of the event.  (Wikipedia)* |  |
| 11.00 |  |
| #### Barcamp Session #1 Three parallel workshops take place, supported by their participants; They are introduced by a maximum 15-minute input by the idea generator, followed by a 30-minute exchange in the plenary. Results are documented by the idea generator. | #### Workshop 1 ##### Sensors: The basis for the „Digital twin of the forest“ and Smart Services in forestry The path to the forest of the future leads through digitalisation. The current development of new sensoric systems comes ever closer to generate the "Digital twin of the forest". This data will provide new data-based services to better manage forests. Stationary or mobile sensors will be enhanced by satellite-data or sky-based data and various computer-based prediction models. In this workshop, we look at the status quo of forestry sensoric and discuss which additional utilisations could be easely implemented. |
| 12.00 |  |
| #### Barcamp Session 2 Three parallel workshops take place, supported by their participants; They are introduced by a maximum 15-minute input by the idea generator, followed by a 30-minute exchange in the plenary. Results are documented by the idea generator. | #### Workshop 2 ##### Innovative solutions for a rethought reforestation In this workshop, we discuss inovative solutions for reforestations: it will be about online market-places for concrete projects, the automation of reforestation, the mapping of plots with drones, the online representation of plots using geo-referencing and block-chain certifications. We will also discuss the intelligent interlinking of these solutions and identify the missing pieces to the puzzle. |
| **14.00** |  |
| #### Barcamp Session 3 Three parallel workshops take place, supported by their participants; They are introduced by a maximum 15-minute input by the idea generator, followed by a 30-minute exchange in the plenary. Results are documented by the idea generator. | #### Workshop 3 ##### Innovation for agro-forestry Agro-forestry can link forestry and agriculture. On the one hand, it offers the ideal framework for trying out solutions from agriculture in an almost forestry context, thereby supporting the transfer of ideas from agriculture to forestry. On the other hand, agroforestry represents the largest unused CO2 sink in our landscape. As a possible stepping stone habitat, it can also link forest areas and make a positive contribution to the conservation of biodiversity. In this workshop, we bring together actors from agroforestry, sensor technology and robotics to jointly develop innovative ideas for agroforestry. |
|   ###### Co-Working Space |  |
| **15.00** |  |
| #### Conclusions and perspectives |  |
| **15.30** |  |
| #### End of the Forum |  |

## **OVERVIEW AND RESULTS OF THE FORUM 2021**

The aim of the 2-day forum was to connect start-ups, idea providers, forest owners, representatives from business and science as well as experts in order to promote the exchange of solutions, business models and innovations to build a sustainable future for the forest ecosystem. Useful inputs from renowned experts, an excursion to the Blankenburg natural heritage forest and a concluding get-together around the campfire offered numerous networking opportunities for the 80 participants. On the second day of the forum, a total of 16 workshops on a wide variety of topics were held in the impressive setting of Blankenburg Castle, using the barcamp method. There, a large number of ideas were discussed from the development of robots to replant large bare areas over the use of CO2 certificates as an additional source of income for landowners to agroforestry approaches that combine the protection of biodiversity with the production of sweet chestnuts and honey. Many of these ideas have developed further and should soon provide forestry, forest owners and other target groups with new tools to help them adapt forests to climate change.

## INSIGHT IN THE LIST OF SPEAKERS 2021

Inspiring experts from the start-up, finance, business, as well as forestry and agribusiness sectors gave their views on the challenges and potential solutions to maintain and use forests in times of climate change. We are glad they stay at our disposal with their expertise.
