Ecobuild CANADA the Natural Home of Innovation Canada is the natural home of green building innovation. Our abundant natural resources, world-leading innovations and brilliant business solutions are the sustainable answer. At Ecobuild, Canada is showing the world how we’re meeting its building needs naturally, today and tomorrow.
Remembering Ecobuild 2013 At Ecobuild 2013 in London, UK, Canada established a commanding presence. Our floor-dominating CANADA Innovation Pavilion included dynamic exhibitor booths, a hosting area and a meeting room, and an ambient, immersive component, the CANADA Innovation Showcase, where a highly successful ‘Build It With Wood’ social media campaign attracted visitors from throughout the trade show. The Build It With Wood campaign enticed more than 300 participants to build unique structures with Canadian wood products, generating considerable on site and online interest for Pavilion exhibitors. “The service and the organization were excellent, I wish the Canadian industry would be present this way in all European countries.”
“Great Display, Attentiveness and Synergy with organizing team members “
“If next year’s Ecobuild was the same as this year’s I would be thrilled. It was perfect for us in every respect”

The Ecobuild Opportunity Ecobuild is the world’s largest sustainable building event, attracting the global green design, construction and built environment community. Endorsed by government officials and celebrities alike, Ecobuild 2013 hosted 43,000 visitors, over 900 exhibitors, and dozens of expert speakers. Ecobuild 2014 is expected to be even bigger and the CANADA Innovation Pavilion will again play a lead role.
Build Your Bottom Line in the UK and Europe Canada’s sustainable building products, technologies and expertise are renowned in the UK and across Europe. The success of Canadian housing exports and our secure sources of legal, sustainable wood products have opened the door to the UK and Europe – a lucrative market of 800 million people where many harmonized standards are now in place. Key drivers in the UK include: • The new ‘Green Deal’ – C$22 billion in energy efficiency measures is reshaping the UK building stock, increasing the market ten-fold instantly and accelerating demand for Canadian products and technologies. •
Goal, Strategy and Pavilion Features For Ecobuild 2014, our goal is to maximize profile and return on investment for CANADA Innovation Pavilion exhibitors among Ecobuild exhibitor, delegate, stakeholder, media and public audiences to deliver tangible opportunities to increase business. The strategy is to expand on our proven, captivating trade show presence by expanding exhibitor numbers, types and floor space and leveraging on site activities with high impact, cohesive marketing, social media activations, and newsworthy, compelling public relations.
A new ‘zero carbon’ standard for new homes by 2016 and for all buildings by 2019.
• A projected shortage of half a million homes by 2021 in the UK, driving strong demand for sustainable construction products and technologies. • Urban space shortages pushing development skyward with over 100 high-rise buildings in planning in London alone.
