DLG (German Agricultural Society) and Messe München GmbH (MMG) have entered a cooperation in the forestry sector, in order to jointly take advantage of synergies for the ‘DLG Waldtage’ and ‘INTERFORST’ events.

“The DLG offers valuable building blocks for the INTERFORST supporting program, while Messe München, on the one hand, provides a central platform for the content of DLG‘s forest competence, and, on the other, supports the forest events that the DLG organizes” says Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, Deputy Chairman of the Board, Messe München.

“The cooperation between the DLG-Waldtage and INTERFORST events is an important instrument for the DLG to further technical progress in the forestry sector at large as well as enable technology and knowledge transfer that serve the interests of sustainable forestry,” said Peter Grothues, Managing Director, DLG.

During the next INTERFORST in 2022, the DLG will be demonstrating forstry and municipal technology in the open-air area of the exhibition grounds. Within the supporting program accompanying the exhibition, the DLG will be introducing matchmaking workshops that offer key information for the European agricultural machinery industry, highlighting both opportunities and risks offered by various international markets. Reaching promising export markets is expected to have a positive effect on the international format of the exhibition.

The comprehensive cooperation will also leave a positive mark on several forthcoming DLG forestry events—DLG-PraxisSpot “Forest”, Brilon Forest Symposium and the DLG-Waldtage, which in English literally means ‘DLG Forest Days’. Key topics in the forestry industry will be explored jointly in order to develop these areas in the supporting and technical programs of each event, using and building on each other’s strengths.
