Bogotá, March 2026. Interzum Bogotá 2026 will bring together the international network of the wood processing, furniture manufacturing, and interior design industries in Bogotá, with a projected participation of nearly 200 exhibitors from various countries and 14,000 professional visitors from more than 17 markets. As the only edition of the Interzum brand in Latin America and the Caribbean, the trade fair strengthens its regional reach and prepares the city to welcome companies and buyers looking to do business, stay up-to-date, and connect with global trends all in one place.

From May 12 to 15, 2026, Colombia will host Interzum Bogotá, the trade fair for the wood processing, furniture manufacturing, and interior design industries, at a time when many companies are defining where to expand their production and strengthen their supply chains, seeking markets with high potential, greater proximity to their customers, and reliable suppliers with a sustainable focus.

The furniture and wood supplier industry is one of the manufacturing sectors with the greatest capacity to generate employment and connect economic activities in Latin America. In Colombia, the forestry sector, wood processing, and furniture manufacturing generate more than 300,000 direct and indirect jobs (figures from DANE and sector entities). These sectors also show significant export potential for furniture, components, and solutions for residential, commercial, and corporate projects.

 

The region is increasingly exporting complete solutions, with companies participating in international projects in architecture, specification, interiors, and custom manufacturing. In this vein, interzum bogota connects with the global interzum network, bringing together in one place materials, technologies, and standards that are setting the pace for the industry in various markets.

“On behalf of Koelnmesse, we welcome international exhibitors to a region with great timber potential and a growing solid wood furniture and processing industry. interzum bogota opens the door to doing business in Latin America, connecting with buyers and partners, and getting to know a market ready for more investment and exchange,” said Angélica Garzón, Project Manager of Koelnmesse.

The 2026 edition will bring together companies, buyers, and professionals from key Latin American markets such as Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Ecuador, along with strategic players from the United States, Spain, Italy, Germany, Turkey, and India.

The 2026 edition is being held under the theme “Roots of the Future,” which highlights the sustainable origin of wood and its role in driving the circular economy, responsible construction, and industrial competitiveness. The fair also focuses on the talent and the trades and professions that keep the value chain moving, from carpenters and builders to architects and interior designers.

“The fair helps connect markets, knowledge, and business, generating concrete opportunities for manufacturers, buyers, and professionals in the sector. For Corferias, interzum bogota is a growing platform that reflects the strength of the regional furniture and wood supply chain,” stated Ana Garibello, Project Manager for Corferias at interzum bogota.

The interzum bogota experience expands with world-class content and live demonstrations

interzum bogota 2026 will expand its format with a program of content and live demonstrations that complement the exhibition. Smart Talks is a space led by ACAI (Colombian Association of Interior Architecture), designed for architects, designers, and specifiers, where experts share trends, solutions, and innovative applications of wood in contemporary architecture and design. Topics such as sustainability, circular economy, innovation, technology, and design applied to the furniture and wood industry will be discussed, based on real-world experiences, global trends, and case studies relevant to the regional context. Wood Talks, with the support of FEDEMADERAS, will highlight the forestry value chain and the wood industry. The Center for Creation and Innovation (CCI), developed in partnership with SENA, will offer workshops and practical demonstrations. And the Business Matchmaking program, with support from ProColombia, WWF, and the Ministry of Environment, will facilitate direct meetings between exhibitors and buyers.
