The 11th edition of JEC Asia, the annual event dedicated to composites in Asia Pacific and focusing on end-user market is set to be held in Seoul, South Korea, from November 14-16, 2018. The event is returning to the capital city of the Republic of Korea with a strong programme, not only on the exhibition floor, but also in the conference sessions.

“We are very grateful for the support of the industry, government bodies, and academics, regarding the evolution of JEC Asia, which has led to the success of the platform. Indeed, 90 per cent of the show floor is already booked which bodes well for the preparation of the event. Around 45 per cent of the exhibitors are coming from outside Asia. JEC Asia will welcome pavilions from Germany, France, Italy, Japan, China, and Singapore, as well as the major composite clusters in Korea,” Christian Strassburger, events director Asia for JEC Group said in a press release.

The future of mobility is a hot topic for composite materials and JEC Asia will represent, promote, and provide information about the increasing integration of composites in automotive developments. Numerous programmes will be offered, such as a whole day conference on Composites in Automotive, a Leadership Composites Circle, an Auto Planet, showcasing parts, a B2B meetings program, a JEC Innovation Award category, and Composites tours (site visits of composite-related facilities).

Finally, for the second time, JEC Asia will host the International Carbon Festival, organised by KCTECH and the Jeonju region, with top-notch conferences and international speakers. (GK)
