JEC World 2018, a leading international composites trade show, has closed its doors in Paris last week, with a record increase in attendance resuming three days of vibrant networking and knowledge sharing.

The show welcomed more than 1,300 exhibitors from every continent and counted 42,445 professional visits from 115 countries. “The ability of JEC Group to gather the whole composites industry under one roof over 3 days lies in the fact that we always initiate new precursory programs to the service of composites professionals,” commented Frédérique Mutel, JEC Group President & CEO.

“This year we initiated new programmes, for instance, the Composite Challenge allowing 10 PhD students to pitch their thesis in front of the industry, thus facilitating connections between students and industrialists. In the same spirit, we increased in power our Startup Booster and Innovation Award Programs to accelerate relations between young or innovative companies with investors or established enterprises.”
