SUMMARY:Business delegation of woodworkers and furniture makers to Toronto\, Canadada
DESCRIPTION:From June 23 to 28\, 2024\, an economic delegation of six Slovenian wood and furniture companies was successfully held in Toronto\, Canada. It is the second such delegation with the aim of further deepening knowledge about this market and consolidating business contacts after last year’s delegation. \n\nThe goal of this year’s delegation in Canada was to learn about trends in the market and in the furniture industry\, and to find new business opportunities and contacts. The delegation was attended by representatives of six companies; Vudex d.o.o.\, Atrium Novi interieri d.o.o.\, Moba d.o.o.\, Leska d.o.o.\, Trilobit d.o.o.\, Most d.o.o.\, Melu d.o.o. and the Wood Industry Cluster. They are furniture and woodworking technology providers with export experience who address the Canadian market with niche products for custom interior fittings and contract products. The delegation’s brochure is available HERE. \n\nThe delegation visited Toronto\, Canada\, which is one of the fastest growing cities in North America and therefore offers many opportunities for the export of furniture and wood products. Theye met with the Wood Manufacturing Cluster of Ontario and visited the College Conestoga in Kitchener. They visited several showrooms and manufacturers and sellers of technological equipment and established new business connections with Canadian companies. The members of the delegation got a very good insight into the Canadian market and the possibilities for exporting furniture and equipment to this market\, which has a free customs agreement with the EU. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe delegation also met with Canadian-Slovenian entrepreneurs within the framework of the Canadian-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and participated in the National Day ceremony\, which our residents celebrate by raising the flag at Toronto City Hall. \n\n\n\n“Our expectations on the Canadian market\, which is a very promising export market for furniture makers\, were primarily new business connections and the acquisition of useful information about trends\, the business environment and conditions for exporting furniture. According to the positive assessment of the participants of the delegation\, it achieved its goals. This year\, we are also planning autumn delegations to Germany and Albania\,” said Bernard Likar from the Wood Industry Cluster. \n\n\n\nThe delegation was organized by the Public Agency SPIRIT Slovenia with the support of the Ministry of Economy\, Tourism and Sport. The coordination of the implementation was provided by the Wood Industry Cluster with the cooperation of CCIS – the Association of the Wood and Furniture Industry\, the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Ottawa and the Canadian-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce from Toronto.

SUMMARY:Meeting of wood and furniture clusters of the Alpe Adria region on the subject of the EUDR - Regulation on Deforestation-free products
DESCRIPTION:On April 12\, 2024\, a meeting of the timber clusters of Carinthia\, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Slovenia took place in Tarvisio\, Italy\, where the actors of the Alpe Adria timber value chain discussed the pressing issue of the EUDR\, the Regulation on Deforestation-free products\, which is the subject of current debate on the European and world level. The implementation of the regulation\, which is not an easy challenge for European forestry and the wood industry\, is indeed difficult to implement in this form without a significant reduction in the competitiveness of the European wood industry on a global scale.The goal of the Alpe Adria region delegates – Cluster Legno Arredo Casa Fvg\, Wood Industry Cluster Slovenia\, Timber Innovation Network Alpe Adria (TINAA) accompanied by key stakeholders including Federlegno Arredo\, Confindustria Udine\, Legno Servizi\, Confartigianato Videm\, Land- und Forstbetriebe\, Kärnter Forstverein in the presence of official and political representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture\, Forestry and Food of the Republic of Slovenia\, Carinthia and the Autonomous Region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia\, as well as important entrepreneurs in the sector – was the exchange of best practices and the search for a common position towards the European Commission in terms of accelerating the revision of the EUDR\, that this would be feasible in the near future and would not significantly reduce the competitiveness of the European wood and furniture industry. \n\nAfter an institutional online welcome by Pietro Oieni\, head of the competent authority for wood of the Ministry of Agriculture\, Food Independence and Forestry of the Republic of Italy\, the EUDR was presented live from Brussels by Silvia Melegari\, general secretary of CEI Bois\, the umbrella European wood association\, in the discussion the representatives of the clusters highlighted their point of view. Slovenia’s position regarding the regulation was commented on by Simona Vrevc from the Slovenian Ministry of Agriculture\, Forestry and Food. \n\n\n\nAcknowledging the noble goal of this regulation\, the Legno Arredo Casa FVG cluster expressed strong concerns about its concrete implementation\, as expressed by the stakeholder delegates Alessandro Calcaterra\, Marco Vidoni\, Mirco Cigliani\, Paolo Fantoni and Carlo Piemonte. “We are ready to cooperate with the region\, the competent ministries and the European Union in order to ensure the protection of the environment and the production capacity of the sector\, but we submit a proposal to postpone the entry into force of the regulation\, especially when sanctioning the work\, which should provide for a transitional phase of at least 3 years. This will give us time to start a consultation with the EC to analyze and revise the most impactful parts of the regulation on bureaucratic burdens for companies.” \n\nConcern was also expressed on the side of the Wood Industry Cluster of Slovenia due to the significant bureaucratic burdens that the EUDR imposes on companies\, which would put a heavy burden especially on SMEs\, said Bojan Resman and Matej Mulej from LIP Bohinj and Bernard Likar from the Forestry Cluster. “In order to harmonize the EUDR directive with the interests of industry and forest owners\, we also propose a postponement of the implementation of the regulation\, at least until the EU information system is operational.” \n\nThe Timber Innovation Network Alpe-Adria from the Austrian Carinthia (TINAA) emphasized the importance of a European policy that supports forest owners and forestry companies in the active and sustainable management of forest resources\, that they are involved in the decision-making process through a structured dialogue. In order to avoid short-term burdens\, a revision of the regulation on deforestation is necessary\, which would eliminate legal uncertainties\, was the unanimous opinion of Stefanie Ofner\, present on behalf of the Carinthian Land Parliament\, Martin Gruber\, the former governor of Austrian Carinthia\, Christian Benger (Land &Forstbetriebe)\, Johannes Thun-Valsassina (Kärtner Forstverein)\, Matthias Granitzer (Waldverband Kärnten) and TINAA cluster leader Sebastian Adami. \n\nFinally\, the three clusters reiterated their commitment to strengthening dialogue and cooperation to address the challenges posed by the EUDR\, ensuring that the interests of their regions and the timber sector are adequately represented and protected\, respecting the balance between environmental protection\, economic growth and social prosperity.

SUMMARY:Mobility within the international project ALLVIEW
DESCRIPTION:In the week from 22.1. until 26.1. 2024\, Slovenian partners (Lesarski grozd\, BF Department of Forestry and CPI) on the Erasmus+ project ALLVIEW\, hosted 8 students (4 students from WoodArt Academy from Italy and 4 students from Warsaw University of Life Sciences from Poland). Professors/teachers (4 from Italy and 4 from Poland) also participated in the mobility. We have prepared a rich program for them. \n\nOn the first day\, we welcomed them to the University of Ljubljana\, Biotechnical Faculty\, to the Department of Wood science and technology. Pupils and students received an assignment about used wood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe showed the mobility participants how successful our timber companies are in the field of circularity\, modern technologies\, industry 4.0\, smart buildings\, modular construction\, examples of good practices and successful projects in the field of sustainability. For this purpose\, we visited the companies M Soro\, d.d. and Marles Hiše Maribor\, d.o.o.. We also visited Slovenian woodworking schools (Škofja Loka School Center\, Maribor High School of Forestry and Forestry and Maribor Higher Vocational School of Woodworking and Design) and introduced the visiting teachers/professors to the curriculum\, the implementation of the curriculum and practical training. \n\nWe also visited the Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute\, where they presented us with the certification of wooden construction\, why it is important and necessary. We also visited their laboratories\, the most interesting was the laboratory with a 3D scanner\, which can be used to make various replicas. \n\nOnly for teachers or and the professors were given a visit to the Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Vocational Education and Training\, because a constructive discussion was held regarding the educational levels in each country\, what problems they face\, how is the enrollment of students\, …… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the last day of mobility\, students presented their findings on the content of chemical elements in used wood for reuse. Samples for tests were prepared from waste wood. They found that the reused wood contained large amounts of chlorine and copper. They emphasized that such wood is best used for processing into products for outdoor use. \n\nWhen preparing the program\, we tried to follow the main idea of the ALLVIEW project – to show and visit places that are in some way connected with the latest achievements of digitization and/or sustainability policy. Another goal was to differentiate the program as much as possible between teachers and students without losing quality. \n\nPosts about this mobility can also be found on social networks HERE \, HERE\, HERE a>\, HERE and HERE . \n\n\n\nThe goal of the five-year Erasmus+ project ALLVIEW CoVE\, which connects 22 partners from 8 EU countries\, is to establish a European platform for professional training in the furniture and wood sector\, with current training in the areas of Industry 4.0\, circular economy and socially responsible business. >

SUMMARY:The first meeting of the partnership on the Erasmus+ FLIER project
DESCRIPTION:On January 17\, 2024\, a kick-off meeting was held on the Erasmus+ FLIER project. The partnership of this two-year project includes six partners from Spain\, Belgium\, Italy\, Ireland and Slovenia. \n\nBy providing a new curriculum for circular furniture designers and an associated online course\, FLIER aims to support the furniture sector to respond appropriately to the challenges and opportunities presented by the circular transition and related legislation. FLIER will promote the sector’s transition to a greener industry by updating the current offer of vocational education and training in furniture design and better meet the lifelong learning offer of adults who are in high demand in the labor market.

SUMMARY:Second business delegation of wood and furniture companies in Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Between 20th and 23rd November 2023\, there was a business delegation of wood and furniture companies in Cairo\, Egypt. This is the second such delegation in this promising market. \n\nThe delegations attended the company; MBS list d.o.o.\, Marušič d.o.o.\, Enter Life d.o.o.\, Donar d.o.o.\, Montpreis d.o.o. and wood cluster. Businesses are providers of sawn wood and profiled wood of conifers and deciduous trees and interior designs\, most with experience in exporting to foreign markets\, some also in Egypt. You can find a delegation presentation brochure HERE. \n\nWe performed the delegation together with HABIC – Equipment\, Furniture and Design Cluster in the Basque Country from Spain and Transylvanian Furniture Cluster from Romania\, as part of the international project “Furniture Go International“. On the first day of the delegation\, we had a central business B2B Matchmaking event with Egyptian companies organized by the consulting company. The event was opened by the Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia to Cairo\, Mr. Podlesnik and economic advisor at the Embassy of Spain. This was followed by a lecture by Egyptian architectin and expert for sustainability followed by business meetings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the second day\, we attended a joint meeting of all three delegations with representatives of Egyptian organizations in the field of timber and furniture industry at the Embassy of Spain. The purpose of the meeting was to get to know the current economic situation in Egypt\, the state and interests of their timber and furniture industry\, and information about business opportunities. We also connected long -term links to Egyptian organizations. The day was completed by the Slovenian delegation with a business lunch with Egyptian importers of timber in the residence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Slovenia in Cairo Mr. Podlesnik. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe concluded the delegation by learning about Cairo and his sights. \n\n\n\nWe can conclude that the business delegation was very successful and helped to strengthen exports to this market. The potential for exporting wood and furniture to Egypt is great\, as well as opportunities for cooperation. Egypt is also a very good starting point for trading Gulf and African countries. \n\n\n\nThe event was organized by the public agency Spirit Slovenia with the support of the Ministry of Economy\, Tourism and Sport\, and was coordinated by the woodworking cluster in cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia and the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Cairo.
