Where Czech craftsmanship in timber, glass, and modular building meets Japan's decarbonization imperative.
Building on the success of the Czech Pavilion at EXPO 2025, this Expert Working Group brings together Czech and Japanese leaders in sustainable construction — from CLT and timber specialists to glass manufacturers, modular builders, and sustainable material innovators. Our Group focuses on turning Japan's carbon neutrality roadmap into concrete opportunities for Czech suppliers, while opening European markets to Japanese construction technology.
Cross-laminated timber, glulam, and engineered wood products for mid-rise and high-rise construction in seismic zones.
Factory-built modular systems enabling faster, more efficient building delivery with lower environmental impact.
Czech decorative glass, lighting solutions, and architectural crystal for premium Japanese commercial and hospitality projects.
Innovative insulation, recycled aggregates, and bio-based materials aligned with Japan's carbon neutrality 2050 roadmap.
Inaugural gathering in Prague with members, Japanese partners, and invited policymakers. Group chair elected; 12-month priorities set.
Full-day session on Japan's construction sector outlook, regulatory pipeline, and concrete near-term procurement opportunities.
Review of group activities, delegation outcomes, and position papers. Planning session for 2027 priorities and trade missions.
