JEC World 2026 opens tomorrow, March 10, at Paris Nord Villepinte, bringing together the entire composites ecosystem for three days of exhibitions, conferences, technical sessions, strategic industry gatherings, and business meetings. As the “festival of composites”, JEC World is also a destination for a broad spectrum of other professional visitors, eager to discover how these advanced materials can offer sustainable solutions to their industries.
Recognized worldwide as the leading trade exhibition dedicated to composite materials and their applications, this year’s edition sets a new benchmark in scale and ambition, in line with its motto “Pushing the Limits”. More than 1,400 exhibitors from 52 countries are on show, with visitors expected from about 100 countries. The five largest exhibiting countries – Germany, France, China, Italy and the United States – represent the industry’s strongest hubs. Another indicator of the event’s global footprint is the arrival of first-time exhibiting nations including New Zealand, Bahrain and Lithuania, alongside new national pavilions from Norway and Poland.
“This edition is our most ambitious yet, more exhibitors, more countries, and the most comprehensive program to date – and as it seems, a record number of business meetings booked through our service. At a time when global supply chains are being reshaped and industrial competitiveness is under pressure, the scale and diversity of JEC World 2026 underline the critical role composites play, and will continue to play, in energy transition, mobility, construction and high-performance manufacturing. The mix of startups, global leaders, researchers, and investors is what makes JEC World unique and what keeps pushing the limits of the composites industry,” said Thomas Lepretre, Vice President, Events, Sales and Operations at JEC Group.
