Dear Sir or Madam,
Every year, international experts of the value chain for wood, paper and pulp meet in Graz to discuss the topics that are of particular relevance for the future of our sector. We are delighted that more than 500 participants joined us in June 2025 and we can look back on an very successful conference.
The PAPER & BIOREFINERY CONFERENCE was once again characterised by a wide range of topics and was perfectly rounded off by an interesting trade show as well as enjoyable evening events. We placed a special focus on the main theme "FIBER – ENERGY – WATER: Closing the loops for a better tomorrow" and were able to welcome renowned speakers who opened up versatile perspectives and valuable insights.
As initiators, our goal remains to provide a platform for future-oriented impulses. We are confident that we will reach this target next year again. With this in mind, we are already looking forward to seeing you again from 20 – 21 May 2026 in Graz!
Ulrich Hirn - Chairman APV Graz
Martin Zahlbruckner - President Austropapier
Gottfried Joham - President ÖZEPA
The conference is known for its comprehensive and multifaceted range of expert contributions. In 2025, we are focusing in particular on the main theme "FIBER – ENERGY – WATER: Closing the loops for a better tomorrow"
An important extension of the conference is an interesting tradeshow for the sector pulp / paper / biorefinery which is perfectly integrated into the congress.
Social Events
Get-together
Early bird participants were welcome to join us for a get-together on the evening before the conference – a wonderful opportunity to meet and greet new and old friends in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.
Conference Dinner
We let the first congress day end in a festive atmosphere above the rooftops of Graz. At the highest point of the city, the SCHLOSSBERG restaurant offered breathtaking views and a variety of delicious culinary delights.
We would like to thank our partners very much for their support of the PAPER & BIOREFINERY CONFERENCE!
