Fibois Hauts-de-France

What Fibois Hauts-de-France does

Fibois Hauts-de-France is an interprofessional association (association loi 1901) and regional Excellence Hub for the forest-wood sector in the Hauts-de-France region of France, operating as the regional branch of the national Fibois France network. The organization coordinates and promotes the entire value chain — from forest management and primary wood transformation through wood construction and wood energy — serving forest owners, sawmill operators, wood processors, construction companies, wood energy operators, and related service providers. Its activities are executed under the Master Plan 2022-2027 strategic roadmap and are supported financially by the Région Hauts-de-France, ADEME, and Fibois France.

The association operates a portfolio of sector-development services rather than a unified software product. Core offerings include: the 2CBBC Concepteur Construction Bois Bas Carbone certification (15 days, 5 modules, hybrid format) and the 'Concevoir et construire avec le bois' single-day training course (priced at €380 TTC standard / €300 TTC for members); the Observabois Hauts-de-France observatory publishing quarterly barometers and the annual Mémento forêt bois statistical compendium; the Cambium Hauts-de-France regional business accelerator; the annual Prix Régional de la Construction Bois award program (30 applicants and 7 winners in 2026); the Cartographie des réalisations bois geospatial project map; an online company directory (Annuaire); a sector job board; and recurring publications including the Guide des bois locaux and cost-competitiveness studies produced with partners such as ECHOS'LAB.

The organization is staffed by 11-50 employees and operates from two offices — headquarters at 56 rue du Vivier, Amiens, and a northern branch at 34 bis rue Emile Zola, Villeneuve d'Ascq. It is led by President Thierry DAMBRINE with a communications team including Alexandra FINET and operational contacts Thomas Baudot and Fabienne DELABOUGLISE. Revenue is generated through member dues, training fees, project grants, and public-sector funding rather than commercial product sales; no revenue figures are publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• FCBA (Institut Technologique Forêt Cellulose Bois-Construction Ameublement): French technical institute for the forest, cellulose, wood-construction, and furniture industries. Provides applied research, technical assistance, training, and certification across the same value chain Fibois coordinates, with broader national industrial mandate.
• Office National des Forêts (ONF): French state forest management agency managing public forests. Already a documented partner of Fibois Hauts-de-France (contributing to the Plaidoyer poster). A large incumbent operating across the same forestry value chain with state-backed mandate.
• Centre National de la Propriété Forestière (CNPF): National center for private forest ownership in France, a public-interest body representing forest owners. Already a documented partner of Fibois Hauts-de-France (CNPF Hauts-de-France Normandie), serving complementary roles in forest management policy and private owner representation.

Regional players

• Fibois Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: Regional Fibois interprofessional association covering the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Operates under the same Fibois France network model with the same training, observatory, and sector coordination portfolio in a different geographic territory.

Others

• ADEME: French ecological transition agency and core financial partner of Fibois Hauts-de-France. Functions as a funder and policy enabler rather than a direct peer, providing the public funding that supports Fibois's wood construction and wood energy programs.

Direct peers

Operates with the same association loi 1901 model, coordinating national initiatives (including the Prix Régional methodology) that regional Fibois entities execute locally.
• Fransylva: Federation of forest owner syndicates in France, organized as an interprofessional association with regional branches (including Fransylva Hauts-de-France). Closely comparable structure to Fibois, focused on the upstream forestry stakeholder segment.

• Union des Industries du Bois (UIB / FIBC): French trade body representing wood-using industries (sawmilling, packaging, pallets, joinery). Closely comparable interprofessional model focused on the industrial side of the value chain that Fibois Hauts-de-France coordinates regionally.
• Comité Stratégique de la Filière Bois (CSF Bois): French strategic committee for the wood sector under the Conseil National de l'Industrie. Coordinates industry-government dialogue for the wood value chain at national level, sharing Fibois's sector coordination mandate though focused on industrial competitiveness policy.
