The theme of the forest industry’s international PulPaper 2022 event is Building Tomorrow’s Bioeconomy. The PulPaper event, free of charge for professionals in the field, introduces company presentations at Future Square.  Forest industry companies such as Stora Enso, Metsä Group, UPM, and Sappi meet their customers and present their products in the exhibition area and host programs at the Future Square. The PulPaper Conference and the Green Economy Business Summit, which both require a separate entrance ticket, will also be organized in connection with the event. Excursions to VTT, Bioruukki, and UPM Kymi will be arranged on 6th June.  

“The events are very important for professionals within the trade. After a long break, we want to organise a meeting place where the visitors have the possibility to study the development within the branch, new products, and information”, says Business Manager Marcus Bergström from Messukeskus. “The forest industry event PulPaper 2022 was postponed from March to June to make networking opportunities better. We are now looking forward to the upcoming event.”
