Biosourced and Geosourced Building Products

Registration for June 18

A day to learn all about biosourced and geosourced materials for the building industry

Demonstration workshops, stands and conferences

Next edition in 2026

A unique day to discover biosourced and geosourced solutions for the building industry

FRD-CODEM, together with the Hauts-de-France Region and its local partners, recognized that there was no event or trade show focused on bio-based and geosynthetic materials that was practical enough to convince and encourage players in the construction industry to adopt these solutions. With its 1,700 m² technical hall, FRD-CODEM can make some noise and get things moving by offering demonstration workshops, in addition to more traditional booths and conferences. Thus was born the “Bio-based and Geo-based Materials for Construction in Hauts-de-France” event. Since 2021, with four editions—including one in AuRA—it has been a real success!

Conferences

This day was very important because it enabled us to meet all types of professionals involved in bio-sourced products: project managers, architects, investors, elected representatives. These are very concrete contacts.

Agnès Roggeman

Gramitherm

It's been a great day, with lots of meetings with architects, contractors and industrialists too, because we need them to build our solutions.

Joseph Cabon

Point P

We were delighted to take part in this event, where we were able to meet everyone and promote our products and their applications. We democratized biobased products!

Stéphane Bailly

Relais Metisse

It was very important to bring together all these professionals, on the same day, in the same place, to encourage local authorities to use bio-sourced materials for their projects on their territories.

Hubert Capelle

Greater Amiens

This day gave me the opportunity to grow on the subject of biobased materials. I was able to pick up a lot of information. The balance between workshops and conferences was very appreciable. It was really interesting !

Pierre Lopez

Bouygues Bâtiment Nord-Est

It's an important event for meeting people involved in biobased materials. The demonstrations enabled me to gather feedback from professionals.

Claire Grébent

Amiens Métropole

The audience was made up of qualified professionals, and the event helped to promote innovations in the biosourced sector. And I'm convinced that it will bring us many spin-offs for the future.

Bertrand Delporte

Bâtilin

People are very interested in the solutions presented today, which are already applicable. This was our third edition, and that's three times we haven't gone on the road for nothing.

Yasmine Sedikki

IELO

I've been exhibiting for a few years now. In the beginning, there were just a few of us and we were really local players. Today, there are more and bigger players. The visitors are of high quality.

Marie Aeberli

Toerana Habitat

The visitors are very diverse, and that's what makes it so interesting. We came back, and we'll no doubt be back for the next edition.

Guillaume Terrasse

Vicat

Building on the success of the four editions of the "Bio-based and Geo-based Materials for Construction in Hauts-de-France" day, FRD-CODEM is offering its unique day format to other French regions. As the construction sector has strong local roots, we believe it is essential to support regional structures and therefore to co-organize these events.

Next edition: June 18, 2026 in AMIENS

A look back at the first national edition in Clermont-Ferrand (2025)

The teams from the Eco-Building Cluster and FRD-CODEM have joined forces to offer a focus on bio-based and geosourced materials for the 10th Eco-Building Day, featuring a version of FRD-CODEM’s “Bio-based and Geosourced Materials for Construction” event. A great first success in bringing our event to other regions!
