JEC World 2018 concluded with a record increase in attendance
JEC World 2018 closed its doors on March 8 with a record increase in attendance. 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.” says Ms. Frédérique Mutel, JEC Group President & CEO.
JEC World initiated some new programs this year, for instance the Composite Challenge allowing 10 PhD students to pitch their thesis in front of the industry. In the same spirit, the event increased in power its Start Up Booster and Innovation Award Programs to accelerate relations between young or innovative companies with investors or established enterprises.
Besides, the event launched the new Book on Natural Fibers: Flax and Hemp, which facilitated strong communications on Composites Environmental Input and Recycling.
JEC World 2018 was the first event to promote and host the new “French Fab”, a French government initiative to internationally promote the French Industry and Manufacture. The event also welcomed the French Secretary of State to the Minister of Economy and Finance Ms. Delphine Gény-Stephann.
