15 days to go before JEC Forum DACH Discover the full program
German below ↴
JEC Forum DACH’s primary goal is to promote the DACH region’s dynamic composites ecosystem through a program that includes one-to-one business meetings, conferences, startup competition, and awards. This year JEC Forum DACH takes place at the heart of the Bavarian region, the « golden triangle », between Munich, Augsburg and Ingelstadt, and expects 500 attendees, suppliers and buyers, from Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Fifteen days prior to the event, the full conference program of the two days is now available. It will include composites market overview, hot topics such as recycling and sustainability, and not to forget: innovation, with the JEC Composites Startup Booster and the AVK Awards.
Right after the forum, on December 1st, ITA Ausgburg will open its doors to the attendees, to present various recycling solutions and enable them to visit its Recycling Atelier and Laboratories.
