JEC Group, the largest international information and connection network on advanced materials, will open the doors of JEC World, the leading trade show for advanced materials that brings together all the composite industry stakeholders, from material producers to end-users, to be held from March 6 to 8, 2018, in Paris, France, for around 100+ countries.
To present the latest trends and innovations, the 2018 JEC World has even more surface area, with 68,000 square metres. The 1,350 exhibitors (from carbon fibre producer to auto builder, from designer to decorator, from research fellow to aircraft manufacturer) will display their latest advances.JEC Group, the largest international information and connection network on advanced materials, will open the doors of JEC World, the leading trade show for advanced materials that brings together all the composite industry stakeholders, from material producers to end-users, to be held from March 6 to 8, 2018, in Paris, France, for around 100+ countries.#
This year, JEC World will have four planets. Besides the aerospace, automotive, and construction planets, there will be a new “Make it real” planet, which gives a preview of designer creations to be exhibited at the Ghent museum starting in October 2018.
JEC World will feature a new “Composite Challenge” programme that gives the floor to ten PhD students, who will be given five minutes to pitch their research projects with the help of a single slide. The expo will also be the occasion to launch ‘Flax & Hemp Fiber Composites, A Market Reality: The Biobased Solution for the Industry’, a new book published by JEC Group on the use of plant-based materials.
The show will host well-known speakers, including Dirk Ahlborn, the CEO of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, a company that is reinventing transportation with high-speed travel (up to 1,300 km/h, or 808 mph), and Yves ROSSY, aircraft pilot and inventor of the first jet-powered wingpack, with which he is able to reach speeds of up to 300 km/h, or 186 mph. The Startup Booster programme will pay tribute to startups, and the JEC Innovation Awards programme, to innovations.
Six new conferences will also address the latest technical advances that are moving the sector forward, and a Composites in Action programme will present live demonstrations throughout the show, in three different places. The programme chooses and awards composite champions based on criteria that include the involvement of the partners in the value chain, the technical aspects, and the commercial applications for the innovations.
