JEC World 2024 Villages and Live Demo Zone: Networking, discoveries, forward-thinking, and business
Inspiring innovation, knowledge sharing, and highlighting the best of innovation are always the essential goals of JEC World, particularly in this 2024 edition, which will feature 4 "Villages" and a Live Demo zone, showcasing the future of advanced manufacturing. Dedicated to the development and study of integrated production technologies, and in partnership with universities, R&D centers, and technology institutes, these zones will present the latest scientific and technological developments, innovative products, and live demonstrations.
Natural Fibres Village
The significant growth of the composite market in multiple sectors creates key opportunities for bio-sourced and renewable materials. Application sectors that anticipate sustainable development demands expressed by increasingly environmentally conscious consumers. In response to this awareness and ecodesign initiatives that have emerged in the industrial world, JEC has collaborated with the ALLIANCE FOR EUROPEAN FLAX-LINEN AND HEMP to design a dedicated Village for natural fibers at JEC World 2024. This village aims to demonstrate that flax and hemp, as technical fibers, are sustainable solutions, both innovative and efficient, through the innovations of key players.
Campus Village
Engineers, technicians, operators, (...) all from top-notch training, are in high demand by composite material manufacturers and composite parts manufacturers. To meet this demand, JEC World 2024 partners with universities, training institutes, and recruitment agencies to offer this dedicated space not only for education and training but also for employment. The Campus Village allows visitors to explore initial and continuing training programs in different countries, learn about job offers in the sector, and meet companies looking for new talent. Pitch sessions will take place in this space during the 3 days of the exhibition.
Startup Village
The Startup Village is a space reserved for startups in the composites industry. The zone includes finalists of the Startup Booster competition, where they can showcase their services and products, but it is also open to any startup worldwide. It's a space for networking and sharing new ideas. JEC Composites Startup Booster Initiated in 2017 and organized in three regions (Europe, the United States, and Asia), the JEC Startup Booster competition has already fostered the emergence of more than 900 innovative projects from over 60 countries. It has become a must-attend springboard for all participants seeking international opportunities.
