The wood industry needs BIFE. B2Bife! Come to BIFE!

The wood industry needs a large B2B (business to business) event that brings people together, generates energy and gives direction. In my opinion, this industry cannot consider itself big, cannot make macro-economic claims, without such an event. The wood industry needs a moment a year to stop and look in the mirror. Companies, marketing and sales teams to interact directly with the market, managers to meet, discuss, observe trends. Professionals to get informed, to improve. The APMR, the employers' associations should take advantage of everyone's presence to organise General Assemblies and take decisions for the next period.

The infrastructure of the event, the infrastructure of Bucharest (as much as it is), the notoriety of the brand, all make BIFE-SIM the perfect event to become again the large-scale event we talked about above.If we want that big event, we need a fresh start! A new beginning where we build on what we already know is good. By people and companies who understand the need and want such a large-scale event. With their help.

That's why we initiated the project B2Bife.biz. We, Wood Magazine, want to get involved. We want to support the APMR, we want to gather the necessary energies to have that big annual event here at BIFE-SIM.

We know it's not easy. We've already seen that in the short time since the project was launched. It's hard to explain what we want to do, it's hard to understand, it's hard to rebuild trust, it's hard to find budgets for it. Especially now, at this time. But what's hard is also beautiful. It's nice to find people who share your vision and trust your project. Thank you, Adrian Echert (Wood-Mizer Romania)! Thank you, Dragoș Mărăcineanu (Felder Gruppe Romania)! Your trust obliges us.

It's nice to see already revived energies, young people eager to come to BIFE-SIM 2023 (21-24 September), to interact, communicate, get involved. Radu Vădan, Radu Călian, George Adrian Mihalache, Dorin Văideanu and many others will come to our stand. Well-known names from Revista din Lemn or from professional groups, professionals we have been following for a long time and who we think deserve to have their moment (even an hour, see the event schedule on b2bife.biz) at B2Bife 2023. Inspiring people, role models for others who we expect to join us in this industry. If their names don't ring a bell yet, you don't know enough about the industry. Come to BIFE to meet them!

Otherwise we, the Wood Magazine - as you can see we are thinking about the project B2Bife.biz as a future one - we will take advantage of our English language platform, woodindustry.newsto promote B2Bife.biz globally in an attempt to bring as many international companies interested in Romanian furniture and market to BIFE-SIM as possible next year. Then, with the support of our B2Bife partners, we will try to offer everyone the infrastructure and services they need here at BIFE-SIM. This is our goal for BIFE-SIM 2024. We really want to know, as soon as possible, the timing of BIFE-SIM 2024 (as soon as BIFE 2023 is over, if possible) to start campaigning, to talk to current and future partners.

But until BIFE-SIM 2024, we expect all of you to join us next week, between 21-24 September, at Romexpo, at BIFE-SIM 2023, to build together the biggest event of the year in the Romanian Wood Industry. B2Bife! Come to BIFE!
