With 1,400 exhibitors expected and more than 45,000 professional visits likely representing 112 countries, JEC World promises to be a global festival for the composites industry. JEC World, the global trade show dedicated to composite materials¸ will be held during March 3-5, 2020, in Paris. There will be 28 regional and international pavilions.

A significant number of industry leaders and JEC World regulars have confirmed they will attend, and the industry’s leading countries and regions will be represented at 28 regional and international pavilions.

JEC World’s main objective is to promote the composites sector’s biggest innovative projects. More than 600 product launches are expected to be announced over the three days of the show, which will also feature awards ceremonies, competitions and exhibitions.

The JEC Innovation Awards celebrate innovative global composite projects, as well as fruitful collaborations between different players in the value chain. In 15 years, the innovation awards have bought together some 1,800 companies and recognised 177 projects.

The Startup Booster is the leading startup competition in the world of composites. In its fourth year, it recognises innovations with the greatest impact on the industry and promotes them to a significant audience of decision-makers. The finalists will have their innovations showcased at JEC World’s “Startup Hub.” The Composites Challenge recognises selected PhD students in the field of composites. Innovation Planets will highlight the latest composite innovations in four display areas, each focused on specific themes - mobility, aero and space, construction and energy, and sports and lifeStyle. New 3D Printing and Bio-based solutions hubs will showcase the latest developments in these two domains.

There will be a dedicated zone which will showcase 50 years of expansion in the composites industry across 15 application sectors.

JEC World also offers visitors and exhibitors access to effective marketing and relationship-building opportunities. More than 6,000 business meetings will take place over the three days of the show, tailored to the specific needs and priorities of these leaders while giving them the opportunity to strengthen their positions, get involved in new programmes, and meet new partners.

JEC World also plays a key role in global knowledge sharing. Several technical conferences will be held over the three days presenting the latest in eco-design, sustainability and recycling, concrete and composites, biomimicry, carbon, artificial intelligence, and fibre and nano-reinforced materials.

The Agora Stage, a platform for exchanges and sharing that is open to all, will host speakers who will share their vision of the composites market. French “Flying Man” and Flyboard inventor Franky Zapata, founder and CEO of the Zapata Company, will talk about how innovative materials and engineering concepts can democratise personal air mobility.

The “Country on Stage” will give three countries with strong composites ecosystems a chance to show off their achievements and potential, with the Netherlands already confirmed. In the form of keynote presentations, representatives of each country will present their industrial ambitions and business assets to a global audience.
