JEC World 2022 Conferences Program
*Version française en bas de page
Enthusiasm is growing as we approach the 2022 edition of JEC World in 5 weeks: key decision-makers, engineers, experts, show their will to get back together in Paris, as exhibitors, visitors, or speakers. More than ever, actors of the industry have been eager to share their knowledge, their experiences, or introduce their innovations, showing to the world that the industry has lost none of its dynamism in these peculiar times.
Driven by this passion, JEC World’s conferences program mainly shines a light on this year’s theme and most impactful topic: Composites for a Sustainable World, as sustainability continues to rise as a key growth driver for the composites industry, enabling diverse application sectors to achieve ambitious sustainability goals, from energy and transportation, to building and infrastructure. The conferences program will be available for free to all registered participants, in two Agoras (Hall 5 and Hall 6) and also online via JEC World Connect.
In 2022, JEC World is determined to demonstrate how sustainable thinking is at the heart of the innovative designs, technologies and business models driving the development of the next generation of composites applications.
