JEC Asia closes on a high – moves to Seoul for 2017

JEC Asia International Composites Event closed the doors of its 9th annual edition in Singapore after three days of intense networking and knowledge sharing among composites professionals from Asia, Europe and America with the Kingdom of Thailand as country of Honour for this edition.

“The Asian Composites market is very dynamic and we witnessed it once again on JEC Asia,” said Frédérique Mutel, JEC Group president & CEO. “We were very happy to welcome attendees from more than 40 countries and see the evolution of their needs and interest. Thus, we have included more and more services dedicated to the End-Users Industries who participated to the B2B Meetings we organised onsite. Also, we have created a start-up competition to encourage the entrepreneurship of young generation in Composites. Three companies won prizes that will boost their development from free offices to cash prizes. The winners of this new competition are: Five Oceans, TnK Co Ltd and AirGo Design.”

Added Christian Strassburger, JEC Asia show director: “We are very confident that the 2017 session of JEC Asia in Seoul will be very successful as many Korean institutions already committed to help us adapt this platform to the regional needs. The City of Seoul supports actively JEC Asia in doing its utmost to welcome the usual expected international crowd and certainly attract new attendees.”

JEC Group says it has already successfully sealed partnerships and agreements with Korean government bodies, clusters, companies and Universities. The involvement of the whole composites value chain in Korea augurs well for the upcoming International Composites Event.

JEC Asia International Composites Event 2017 will take place at the COEX Centre in Seoul, Republic of Korea, next November 1-3, 2017.
