Innovation Planets

Innovation Planets are showcase areas where companies and associations can highlight their latest projects in form of a part or finished product on one of the four themed display areas, called “Innovation Planets.” Our goal at JEC is to develop the composite industry by creating a platform throughout our media and events to showcase the vast potential and benefits of composites vs. or complementary to other materials in various industries.  The Innovation Planets are developed to give substance to this approach by showcasing over 150+ innovative parts submitted by various companies and associations every year on our events in Europe and Asia. At JEC WORLD in Paris we present on four Innovation Planets on a total surface of approximately 1000m2 the most innovative parts and final products submitted by various companies, associations and R&D centers from all over the world. The Planets Mobility, Aero & Space, Building & Industry and Sports & Lifestyle cover industries such as: Auto & Land Transportation, Aero, Construction & Civil Engineering, Sports Equipment, EEE, Marine, Renewable Energy. Recycling and bio-based aspects are treated transversally, for each sector.

Innovation Planets at JEC World in Paris divided in four themed areas

Since 2017, an Innovation Planet is created annually at JEC KOREA in Seoul and covering innovative parts from various industries and attracting a vast number of OEM’s and suppliers.
