After six years, the World Green Infrastructure Congress (WGIC) will finally take place again - from 27 to 29 June 2023 in Berlin! The last World Congress, also held in Berlin, was fully booked with over 800 participants from 44 countries. The aim is to follow-up on the successful 2017 congress with a hybrid event (Berlin and online) in order to reach even more participants.

The three-day World Congress, which is addressed to planners, contractors, local-, state- and federal politicians, investors and companies in the sector, is divided into two days of expert congress and one day of excursions.
The importance of the World Green Infrastructure Congress for politics is shown by the fact that the Parliamentary State Secretary Elisabeth Kaiser (Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building), has agreed to be a patron and to give a welcoming speech - as has the Permanent Secretary Dr. Britta Behrendt from the Berlin Senate Department for the Environment, Urban Mobility, Consumer Protection and Climate Action.
The programme with over 100 speakers from 29 countries has been finalized and promises interesting congress days that will provide an overview of what is currently taking place in the field of greening buildings worldwide.

Special impulses at the beginning
With welcoming addresses by the Parliamentary State Secretary Elisabeth Kaiser (Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building) and Permanent Secretary Britta Behrendt (Berlin Senate Department for the Environment, Urban Mobility, Consumer Protection and Climate Action), as well as keynote speeches by German architect Christoph Ingenhoven (who has set marks with the KöBogen 2 and Calwer Passage buildings, among others) and the world-renowned French botanist Patrick Blanc, there will be a brilliant start to the congress on 27 June 2023 in Berlin.

Full programme. Expert congress on Day 1 and Day 2
On 27 and 28 June 2023, 90 lectures are planned in five parallel series on current topics related to greening buildings (roof, façade and interior greening) and their diverse and promising applications. The main topics will include climate adaptation strategies, sustainable building, rainwater management, biodiversity, urban strategies for greening buildings, architectural and practical examples.
The programme is set - a total of over 100 speakers from 29 countries are expected!

A look into the world of execution practice. Excursions on Day 3
On the third day (June 29, 2023), excursions with four main topics (green roofs, green façades, green interiors, green buildings) will take place visiting various buildings in Berlin. As the number of participants is limited, early registration ensures participation.

Accompanying exhibition and supporters
The accompanying exhibition, which provides a good overview of various products, systems and services in the industry, is almost fully booked with over 50 exhibiting companies and associations. It is another highlight of the event.

The organizer is the Bundesverband GebäudeGrün e.V. (BuGG), supported by international partners (World (WGIN) and European Federation (EFB), Austrian (VfB) and Swiss green infrastructure association SFG)), national partners (Bundesverband Garten-, Landschafts- und Sportsplatzbau BGL, Patzer Verlag), as well as 23 congress and 10 media partners.

The World Congress is further supported by numerous gold and silver sponsors:
Gold: ACO, Bauder, GDL Belke/Ejot, Urbanscape Knauf Insulation, Mobilane, Optigrün, Sky Roofers, Triflex, Wagner/Weiss + Appetito, Zinco, Novotegra, Wavin
Silver: BMI-Group, Carl Stahl, Flor-design Wand, Kraiburg Relastec, Sempergreen, Vertical Green Design, Berliner Regenwasseragentur, Cloud Garden, ATUS.

In addition to knowledge transfer and the presentation of best practice examples by experts from Germany and abroad, the focus is on networking between participants from planning, politics, cities, industry, the real estate sector and associations.

Registrations are still possible until the 26 May 2023 at the "normal rate", before it changes to the "late rate".
