Foresting Tomorrow #33 | Road Trip: Elmia Wood 2025

In this on-the-road episode, we head to the forests of southern Sweden for Elmia Wood—one of Europe’s largest forestry fairs—celebrating its 50th anniversary with a spotlight on AI and innovation.

We explore what happens when forest data moves beyond documentation—and starts driving strategy, investment, and impact. On stage with us is the team from Aeon Group: CEO Bolette Pedersen and Investment Specialist Mads Esbensen, who share how forest data is becoming the backbone of land-use change, reforestation, and natural capital investments.

We dig into how forest owners can future-proof their operations with better data, why investors are suddenly eyeing trees, and how everything from carbon credits to groundwater protection is creating new revenue streams for those who are ready. From the "little red book" to laser scans, it’s a deep dive into how tech, finance, and ecology are converging in the woods.

Whether you’re into yield tables, traceability, or blockchain-based biodiversity credits—this episode is for you.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak, Rasmus Pedersen, and Benjamin Lauridsen.
