JEC World is the only global trade show dedicated to composite materials and applications. Taking place annually in Paris, JEC World will host all the major players in a spirit of innovation, business and networking. JEC World has become a celebration of sorts in composites and a “think tank” featuring hundreds of product launches, awards ceremonies, competitions, conferences, live demonstrations and networking.
To be held March 4-6, 2025, it features ground-breaking solutions, unique manufacturing, and business opportunities inside a networking hub of creativity, vision, and action.
Panel Highlights:
Demystifying LCA – A Guide to Sustainable Composites: As companies strive to meet zero-emissions goals, evaluating a product’s carbon footprint is vital. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one tool composites industry OEMs and Tier suppliers are using to move toward sustainability targets. This conference dives deep into Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies for composite materials. Explore cutting-edge research on minimizing environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life options.
Composites for Hydrogen Transportation & Distribution: The transition to hydrogen transportation requires a revolution in storage and distribution technology. This session focuses on the exciting advancements in composite materials designed specifically for compressed hydrogen storage & pipelines. It will discuss the projected surge in carbon fiber usage and explore new methods for developing and manufacturing storage vessels and pipelines with a focus on sustainability throughout their lifecycle.
From Trash to Treasure – Building a Thriving Recycled Composites Supply Chain: This session will explore the current barriers to be overcome both to develop a well-organized collection system for composite waste and also to scale-up efficient recycling technologies for composite materials, to enable the successful creation of a robust recycled composites supply chain that reduces costs and increases market adoption. Ultimately, the session aims to showcase how effective waste management systems and innovative recycling technologies can be combined to transform composite waste into valuable resources for a more sustainable future.
Trailblazers in Composites: Celebrating Women Who Are Shaping the Future: This inspiring and empowering conversation will spotlight incredible women trailblazers who are redefining success and breaking barriers in their fields.
Startup Booster, Live Demo, Planets, Country Stage
The JEC Composites Startup Booster is JEC’s competition in the world of Composites and Advanced Materials. It is opened to entrepreneurs, SMEs, startups and academic spinoffs building innovative projects in the field of Composites and Advanced Materials. Ten of the startups in the “Products and Materials” category have been selected to pitch in front of the prestigious jury.
