Composites Week

JEC World opens its doors each year in March and, with precious partnerships, participates in celebrating the composites industry during a whole week, called "Composites Week".

In 2025, the “Composites Week” will start the day before the JEC World opens its doors with the SAMPE Europe Executive Summit.

Sampe Europe

The Program of this Summit consists of a range of 12 high-level lectures by 14 invited speakers only. Topics are composite-related innovations in Automotive & Transport, Space & Aerospace, Advanced Materials, and Process Engineering, as well as Challenging Applications in other markets like Architecture, Construction, Sports, Energy, Marine & more.
High-ranked speakers are from China, Japan, the USA, and Europe. Attendees are managers of CEO and CTO level in leading companies, engineers, scientists, and professionals from throughout the advanced materials and processes industry and universities.

The conference day starts at 9 AM and ends with a networking dinner in the Pullman with a magnificent view of the Eiffel Tower. It is an outstanding occasion for networking with interesting colleagues and meeting new contacts.

It’s an outstanding occasion for networking and meeting new contacts. Both members and non-members of SAMPE, as well as Master and Ph.D. students, are invited to participate.
A long-term partnership between SAMPE Europe and JEC has been established in order to bring the highest benefit of composite materials to our members.
