JEC World is the world's leading trade fair for composites and innovative materials. Although it takes place in Paris rather than Stuttgart, it attracts a broad international audience from industry, research, and technology—including numerous companies, institutions, and visitors from Baden-Württemberg and especially from the Stuttgart area, which plays a central role in the field of modern materials development as a high-tech location. The trade fair brings together the entire value chain of the composites industry in one place: from material development, machinery, and processes to applications in the aerospace, automotive, construction, medical technology, wind energy, and sporting goods industries.
Composite materials such as carbon, glass, and natural fiber-reinforced plastics are considered key technologies of the future. At JEC World, more than 1,300 exhibitors from over 90 countries will present solutions, products, and services from all areas of the composites industry:
Numerous live demonstrations, themed specials, and innovation islands bring current developments to life and show how composite technology contributes to solving global challenges—whether in decarbonization, the mobility transition, or energy restructuring. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in the region will find a comprehensive overview of the regional event portfolio at Stuttgart Trade Fair.
JEC World sees itself as a catalyst for material developments that extend far beyond traditional industries. Current focus topics include:
With its “Innovation Planets” format, the trade fair offers themed experience areas showcasing specific applications from the fields of aviation, construction, transportation, health, sports, and energy—many of them in close cooperation with industry partners and research institutions from Germany.
With over 13,000 organized business meetings, numerous forums, partnering programs, and special formats such as the Startup Booster and the renowned JEC Innovation Awards, the trade fair is a place where innovation is not only showcased, but also networked and promoted. For companies from Baden-Württemberg in particular—one of Europe's strongest industrial locations—JEC World offers excellent opportunities for international market development, technology transfer, and cooperation initiatives.
Despite its strong focus on innovation and technology, the trade fair sees itself not only as a business platform, but also as a festival of composites: modern in its presentation, interactive, and globally networked. This is where materials research and series production, industry and the start-up scene, developers and investors come together—on over 78,000 square meters of exhibition space in the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Hall.
JEC World is one of the few trade fairs worldwide that convincingly showcases both the breadth and depth of a high-tech sector. For companies, research institutions, and suppliers from the Stuttgart area—especially those in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries—the event offers important inspiration, opportunities for cooperation, and access to the international markets of the future.
