JEC World 2024, the leading composites exhibition and conference, is already almost fully booked, with over 1,300 exhibitors having already confirmed their participation in the event which takes place at Paris Nord Villepinte from March 5-7 2024.
Among them are major industry leaders such as 3M, Airbus, Daher, Hexcel, Mitsubishi, Owens Corning, Porchers Industries, SGL Technologies, Solvay, Teijin Carbon and Toray Advanced Composites.
Furthermore, 116 new exhibitors are set to join the event, including Acciona Construcción, Büfa Composite Systems, ExxonMobil, Geiss, Kaon Polymer and Sealants and Sekisui Aerospace.
Exhibitors will be present from 49 countries, including 27 international pavilions, with new exhibiting countries including Canada, Egypt, Georgia and Serbia.
The event’s organisers are anticipating over 43,500 visitors and a rich conference programme alongside the exhibition will emphasise both the challenges and opportinities for the industry as a whole and a focus on specific application sectors, particularly wind energy, aerospace and transportation.
Other highlights will include the JEC Startup Booster competitions, the JEC Innovation Awards, the Innovation Planets and the Discover Composites area providing a comprehensive overview of innovations in terms of processes, materials and products. Designed to encourage interactions and the sharing of ideas, these highlights will enable visitors to pinpoint emerging markets in the composites sector, as well as to discover new materials, products and processes.
JEC World 2024 will also be an opportunity to witness live demonstrations featuring numerous machines and products on display – an approach reinforced this year by the creation of a dedicated demonstration zone.
To ensure industry decision-makers optimise their time over the three days of the exhibition, JEC World will provide a highly efficient programme of tailor-made business meetings. A total of 8,000 meetings are expected this year, enabling participants who have identified their needs in advance of the show to meet new business partners.
