For our first anniversary  – we are back in Väimela, where it all started back in 2017.

Estonia has one of the highest forest coverage percentages amongst developed countries – and we are working towards keeping it that way!

But what are the tools that can help in that?

What new ways to better utilize wood as a building material and through that lessen the environmental effects of the construction industry.

The main goal of the Garage48 Wood make-a-thon is to create and introduce new technological solutions that promote sustainable management and help to achieve a climate-neutral economy.

Once again we are looking for both physical and digital prototypes. Whether you are someone who works with a CNC machine, a chisel or a laptop – we welcome you!
