Fibois Nouvelle-Aquitaine

What Fibois Nouvelle-Aquitaine does

Fibois Nouvelle-Aquitaine is a French non-profit interprofessional association (association loi 1901), established in 2019 and headquartered in Artigues-près-Bordeaux, that represents and federates all actors of the Forêt Bois Papier (Forestry-Wood-Paper) sector in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It operates as a sector-wide convening body with 12 staff distributed across 5 territorial antennas (Aquitaine, Poitou-Charentes, Adour-Pyrénées, Dordogne-Garonne, Limousin) covering France's largest forested region. The organization federates 370 member companies and 190+ partner organizations structured into 5 sector colleges, and is governed by a board led by President Jean-Marc Meyer and Délégué général Sylvain Crapez.

The organization's core technology is a regional coordination and observatory platform, anchored by Observabois — a sector data observatory created in 2020 that characterizes forest resources, wood mobilization, transformation volumes, and workforce metrics across the region. Its product and service portfolio includes sector accompaniment, wood-construction prescription support, the annual Prix Régional de la Construction Bois competition (9th edition in 2025 with 78 candidacies), workforce promotion (Very Wood Métiers, Vis ma vie de bûcheron), the Pacte Bois-Biosourcés bio-based materials initiative (launched 2024), the Bois Français & Design call for projects, and the annual Mémento d'Observabois publication. In 2025, the organization ran 157 events reaching 5,250 participants.

Fibois Nouvelle-Aquitaine funds operations through a combination of annual membership dues (100€ per company) from its 370 members and institutional public funding from regional and national partners including Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, ADEME, France 2030, DRAAF, DREAL, and the Préfecture de Région. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, acquiring members through territorial committees, regional events, business meetings, training, and sector competitions, and distributing services through its 5 territorial antennas. The organization is a member of Fibois France, the national federation of regional forestry-wood interprofessionals.
