Egurtek fulfils its three-fold objective of raising awareness, establishing and promoting businesses.
Over the two-day period, experts and leading companies of the timber industry shared their knowledge, experiences and passions of a constantly innovating environment. To raise awareness of the need for a material that is sustainable and beneficial to the environmental balance, and to inform the technicians of its potential for application in construction and restoration jobs in order to boost trade were the Forum’s main objectives. More than 1,000 professionals participated in EGURTEK, now in its fifth year, which incorporated new spaces for learning and for contact between industry players.
The awards were organised with the co-operation of the Basque-Navarre College of Architects (COAVN) and Habic Cluster. The winners were:

The workshop was presided by the Deputy Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Policy of the Basque Government, Bittor Oroz and the Ambassador of Canada to Spain, Jon Allen.
In the 5 trade shows it has held, Egurtek has welcomed 56 international speakers of renowned prestige.
