JEC Forum DACH: A promising agenda highlighting the composites innovation in the region.
Paris, September 7, 2021 – JEC Forum DACH’s primary goal is to promote the region DACH area’s dynamic composites ecosystem through a promising program that includes conferences, startup competition, and awards. The first edition of the JEC DACH Forum, unique in its format and content, will occur in the Forum of Messe Frankfurt from November 23 to 24, 2021.
For two days, the JEC Forum DACH program will offer the opportunity to exchange and learn about the current and future developments of Composites in the DACH region through a rich program of conferences, the JEC Composites Startup Booster, and the JEC-AVK Awards. JEC Forum DACH will include pre-arranged Business Meetings between sponsors and attendees as well as sponsors’ workshops. Advance registration is required to attend this forum that expects to gather 500 participants.
Conferences, keynotes, and market overview
JEC Forum DACH will feature cutting-edge live conferences with exclusive keynotes organized by the AVK.
The composites industry provides a significant impetus, e.g. in its process technologies for hybrid structures or integrated manufacturing and modern mobility or new materials in the booming construction sector. There’s been an increasing number of marketable ideas for recycling and sustainability solutions. Furthermore, an exclusive report on current market developments in the European composites market will be delivered.
JEC Forum DACH will also feature a fulfilling conference program with experts from the industry giving insights on the latest developments in high-performance composite technologies and applications.
Each day of the forum will be broken down as-is:
• Two keynote speeches led by one or two high profile experts
• Conferences/technical presentations
• Workshops and Business Meetings

Celebrating composites innovation through awards and startup competition
JEC Forum DACH will feature the JEC Composites Startup Booster competition for the first time. JEC Composites Startup Booster, the leading startup competition in the world of composites, enables the community to find and assess innovations with a potential impact on their respective industries.
This year at JEC Forum DACH JEC Group and AVK will co-organize the Innovation Awards Program.
One goal of the JEC-AVK Innovation Awards is to promote new products/components and applications made from fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) and promote new processes and methods for manufacturing FRP products. Universities, colleges, and institutes will receive an award for their outstanding work in science and research. In all the categories, sustainability will be the focus.
Another goal of the JEC-AVK Innovation Awards is to give prominence to the innovations and the companies/institutions behind them, thus publicizing their performance throughout the industry.
JEC-AVK awards celebrate innovations in fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) / composites in the following categories:
- Innovative products/components or applications
- Innovative procedures/processes
- Research and science
JEC Forum DACH will also provide a Composites Tour to enable participants to visit key local composites’ ecosystems on November 25.
