JEC WORLD, the international composites exhibition, will be grandly held at Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre.
As the world’s leading and most recognized exhibition in the composites industry, JEC WORLD 2026 will return with a larger scale and higher influence. It is expected to attract more than 1,400 exhibitors and approximately 46,000 professional visitors from over 100 countries, covering the entire industrial ecosystem from material research and development, manufacturing processes to end applications.
The exhibition will showcase cutting-edge applications of composite materials in aerospace, unmanned aerial vehicles and aviation, automotive and rail transportation, renewable energy, infrastructure and construction, marine, sports and leisure goods, and other sectors.
JEC WORLD is more than an exhibition; it serves as a global knowledge hub and innovation powerhouse for the composites industry.
The expanding Business Meetings program will connect qualified buyers with exhibitors in advance, significantly improving efficiency for both participation and visits.A larger-scale live demonstration area for advanced manufacturing will also be set up at the venue, allowing cutting-edge technologies to be seen and experienced firsthand.
During the event, three open stages will host three days of high-density conferences and sharing sessions. Renowned international experts will be invited to conduct in-depth discussions on cutting-edge technologies, sustainable development, circular economy, and pathways to carbon neutrality.Meanwhile, the highly anticipated JEC Startup Booster will continue to be upgraded:
20 finalist startups will be selected from over 100 global projects to deliver on-site pitches.
More than 60 startups will be showcased at the Startups Village.
Notably, sustainable materials, advanced manufacturing, and recycling & circular technologies will be key themes for 2026, driving the composites industry toward low-carbon and circular development. Four themed zones will systematically present the composite material value chain and sustainable practices:
Circularity Village: Focusing on recycling, repair, remanufacturing and reuse
Bio-Materials Village: Showcasing innovations in bio-based and natural fiber composites
The SMEs Village: Highlighting the agility and innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises
Startups Village: Gathering the most promising emerging forces
