Fibois Île-de-France

What Fibois Île-de-France does

Fibois Île-de-France is a French non-profit interprofessional organization founded in 2004 that federates all professionals of the forest and wood sector across the Île-de-France region. Headquartered in Paris with 13 employees, it operates as the sole regional coordination body for the francilian forestry-wood value chain, serving forest owners, wood transformation companies, construction professionals, architects, educational institutions, and local/regional authorities. Its core activity is sector coordination rather than commercial production: it runs an annual award competition (Prix Régional de la Construction Bois, 13 editions), a 38-signatory commitment platform (Pacte Bois-Biosourcés binding 1.2 million m³ of wood construction by 2025), an annual market observatory (Observatoire Francilien de la Construction Bois), a B2B networking platform (RESOBOIS), an innovation accelerator (Booster Bois-Biosourcés), and a suite of recurring events (Nuits des Forêts, Rencontres BtoB, L'Architecture Sort du Bois, États Généraux de la Forêt et du Bois).

The organization is funded primarily by public institutional sources — ADEME Île-de-France, Prefecture de Région Île-de-France, Région Île-de-France, Métropole du Grand Paris, and France Bois Forêt — supplemented by membership dues processed through HelloAsso. It is a member of the national Fibois France network, has access to the European Enterprise Europe Network for SME internationalization, and participates in regional consortia (Booster Bois-Biosourcés, Observatoire co-organized with AREC Île-de-France). Its technology stack is a portfolio of conventional web platforms (member directory, mapping, event registration, newsletter) rather than a unified technical product. Pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed; the membership model is subscription-recurring, with annual adhesion renewed via the HelloAsso platform. Notable flagship projects it has supported or championed include Wood Up (Paris 13e, 15-story multi-story wood residential building, BBCA certified) and the HLM EINBECK social housing rehabilitation in Thiais.

Direct peers

• Atlanbois: Regional interprofessional forest-wood organization for the Pays de la Loire region. Operates the same convening, training, awards and observatory model as Fibois Île-de-France in a different French region — the closest direct functional peer.
• Fibois Nouvelle-Aquitaine: Another regional Fibois organization covering Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Runs the same interprofessional coordination model, sector observatories, and awards — directly comparable in structure, programs and revenue model.
• Fibois France: National umbrella federation of France's regional interprofessional forest-wood organizations, of which Fibois Île-de-France is a member. Same business model (industry coordination, advocacy, networking, observatories), broader geographic scope — directly comparable at the national level.
• Comité National pour le Développement du Bois (CNDB): National body promoting wood use in construction and design. Operates the same 'promote wood adoption' mandate as Fibois Île-de-France but at national scope — an adjacent direct peer in mission and audience.
• France Bois Industrie Entreprise (FBIE): National trade body representing wood-using industries (sawmills, panel makers, packaging, etc.). A direct peer in terms of serving forest-wood sector members, with national scope and a complementary stakeholder base to Fibois Île-de-France.

Broad incumbents

• European Forest Institute (EFI): International science-policy organization connecting forest research with European policy and practice. Compares to Fibois Île-de-France as a forest-sector coordination body, but with international research-and-policy scope rather than regional member-services scope.
• France Bois Forêt: National interprofessional organization for the French forest sector, funded by a parafiscal tax on timber sales. A core funder and strategic partner of Fibois Île-de-France; comparable industry-coordination role at the national level rather than the regional level.

Emerging players

• WOODRISE: International cluster dedicated to mid-rise wood construction, headquartered in France. Overlaps with Fibois Île-de-France on promoting wood construction adoption, with a more focused mid-rise construction niche.

Others

• FCBA: French technological institute for forestry, cellulose, wood, construction and furniture. A core R&D and technical-assistance partner of Fibois Île-de-France (member of the Booster Bois-Biosourcés consortium) — adjacent enabling organization rather than direct competitor.
