Alternating between Accra, Ghana in West Africa and Nairoby, Kenya in East Africa

As a forward-looking and visionary fprmat “my-ecocamp EXPO Africa” will give rise to a new form of a holistic, eco-friendly knowledge presentation. Rather than the usual conference venues such as exhibition centres or luxury resorts, we prefer a university campus – in other words, the very place where our target audience is preparing for their future.

The event showcases as many of the latest career paths in holistic, eco-friendly living as possible. This helps young people to better identify their own potential and discover entirely new, creative visions for their future.

In cooperation with Didacta the trade fair for all educational perspectives and European Bamboo EXPO

Insight, overview, outlook – Didacta is the leading trade fair and professional development event for the entire education sector. From early childhood development through vocational training to lifelong learning: this educational platform brings together the entire spectrum of modern education and learning opportunities like no other.

Promoting natural building materials as bamboo, clay and wood

Thanks to its remarkable ability to absorb CO₂, bamboo makes a vital contribution to the fight against climate change. It also regenerates soils, strengthens regional economic cycles, and is playing an increasingly prominent role in European strategies for climate-friendly land use.

From a global perspective, bamboo also proves its worth: in many countries of the Global South, it creates employment, promotes sustainable development, and enables the emergence of new, environmentally friendly industries – a true “superplant” with global impact.

2025 year’s focus at the European Bamboo EXPO was on how the potential of bamboo can be purposefully harnessed in the European timber and construction industries. 

Professionals from architecture, engineering, research, agriculture, and design. It provided a space for knowledge transfer, project development, and international collaboration. The strong networking between academia, industry, and civil society was one of the event’s key highlights. Universities from across Germany presented their latest research findings, particularly on the structural properties of both European and imported bamboo.

The expo once again highlighted the important role bamboo plays in a sustainable and climate-friendly economy. Whether as a building material, in furniture production, or in the textile or paper industries – bamboo is increasingly establishing itself as a versatile and future-proof resource.
