Víctor Sandoval, regional president of PymeMad Biobío-Ñuble, represented small and medium-sized wood enterprises at the forestry sector working session convened under the Biobío 2050 Strategy, an initiative aimed at building a long-term roadmap for the region.

The meeting brought together representatives from the wood industry, SMEs in the sector, workers, and various stakeholders linked to forestry activity, along with regional authorities such as the Regional Minister of Agriculture, Francisco Lagos. The session is part of a participatory process seeking to define a cross-cutting strategy capable of transcending government cycles and projecting the territory's development over the long term.

For PymeMad, participation in this forum is especially relevant in a context of profound transformation in the forestry-wood sector, where SMEs seek to consolidate their voice in regional strategic decisions. The trade association valued the collaborative nature of the process and the opportunity to influence public policies that strengthen the wood ecosystem.

"Today we managed to see the development of a robust work plan, with specific plans very well suited to the needs we currently have as a sector," Sandoval stated, highlighting the progress made during the session.

The trade union leader emphasized the importance of small and medium-sized wood enterprises being recognized as a key player within the regional production chain, capable of contributing to building a shared future for Biobío.

PymeMad Biobío-Ñuble's participation in this forum reaffirms the association's commitment to regional economic development and to the active representation of wood SMEs in long-term strategic decisions for the territory.
