3D ADEPT Media will join this “celebration session” as a media partner.
From March 4th to 6th at the Paris Nord Villepinte, JEC World, the organizer of a series of events dedicated to the composites industry and its application sectors, will open the doors of its 60th edition.
Under the unifying theme “Pushing the Limits,” the event will showcase the versatility and innovation of composite materials that continue to redefine lightweighting, performance, design possibilities and offer more sustainable solutions for an increasing number of applications.
With the participation of over 1,350 exhibitors from major corporations to startups, and an expected attendance of 45,000 professionals, all coming from more than 100 countries, this edition of the annual “Festival of composites” will highlight composites as a cornerstone of the future, addressing the most critical challenges across industries.
In the range of applications they enable, composites have helped develop more efficient planes; they have supported the space industry expansion and new explorations, the on- and off-shore development of the wind energy industry, the transportation and mobility industries in reducing emissions via electrification, the deployment of the hydrogen ecosystem, the shipbuilding industry looking for long-lasting, corrosion-free and lighter materials to decarbonate maritime transportation, even the sporting goods industry providing more performing equipment while addressing sustainability challenges thanks to composites, etc.
What can you expect from this year’s edition?
This year’s show will highlight more than 600 new products and innovations—many designed to advance the 9 R’s of circularity (Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Re-use, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle).
The Startup Booster competition will highlight the different ways entrepreneurs are pushing materials science, deeptech and engineering.
A key focus will also be on Additive Manufacturing, especially large-format 3D printing. We may expect live demonstrations illustrating their applications in prototyping, mold-making, and design optimization. As well, advanced manufacturing technologies such as Preforming, 3D Weawing, Tailored and/or Automated Fiber-, Tapes-, Patches- Placement are all presented, involving the associated software development.
JEC World will celebrate the integration of artificial intelligence and digital tools, showing how the industry’s third pillar — Digitalization — is transforming composites production.
The road to the event begins with an online sneak preview – the JEC World Premiere – on January 13th, 2025, unveiling the highlights of the upcoming show, introducing the Startup Booster finalists, and announcing the winners of the prestigious JEC Composites Innovation Awards.
