Dedicated to developments and insights of integrative production technologies and organized in partnership with Universities, R&D and Technology Centers, these areas will present the most recent scientific and technological developments, showcase innovative products and live demos.
At JEC World 2023, many programs and showcase areas will be presented to let you exchange, discover and find new business opportunities:
3D Printing Village, Natural Fibers Village, Campus Village, Startup Village, and SME Village.
3D Printing Village
New opportunities with Additive Manufacturing
Coordinated by Institut Mines-Telecom (IMT) and sponsored by Thermwood, the 3D PRINTING Village, located in Hall 5, showcases the latest technologies in additive manufacturing with live 3D demonstrations throughout the 3 days of the show. Various schools are in the 3D Printing Village: IMT Mines Alès, IMT Mines Albi, IMT Nord Europe, Mines Paris, Mines Saint Etienne and INSIC, with 2 partner companies, TITOMATIC Europe and CIRTES.
IMT is the French leading public group in engineering schools, comprised of 8 engineering and management schools, and of 2 subsidiary schools, under the supervision of the French Ministry of Economy, Industry and Digital Economy. IMT aims at contributing to the development and dynamism of French regions, through the development of lively and effective ecosystems of economic, academic and institutional stakeholders.
IMT is recognised for its expertise in fields that influence our future: Eco-designed and high-performance materials, advanced manufacturing processes and devices, industry 4.0 & 5.0, industrial ecology, low-carbon energy, 5G and 6G telecommunications, IoT, cybersecurity, resilience and risk sciences, data sciences and artificial intelligence, digital health, etc.
In the field of materials science, including composites, IMT operates 5 R&D centres, which gather several teams and research platforms throughout France
Natural Fibers Village
The strong growth of the composite market in multiple sectors creates key opportunities for biobased, renewable materials. They anticipate demands for sustainable development from consumers who are becoming more and more aware on such issues. In response to this acknowledgment and to the eco-design initiatives taking place within industry, and based on its success in 2022, JEC GROUP has been working in cooperation with the ALLIANCE FOR EUROPEAN FLAX-LINEN AND HEMP (previously known as the European Confederation of Flax and Hemp) to set up an expanded Natural Fibres Village at JEC World 2023.
THE ALLIANCE FOR EUROPEAN FLAX-LINEN AND HEMP represents 10,000 European companies throughout the value chain and is dedicated to informing manufacturers about the many advantages these renewable fibres bring to composite applications. The Alliance will demonstrate that flax and hemp are technical fibres that enable innovative, high-performance sustainable solutions.

Campus Village
JEC World 2023 will host a new area dedicated to education and training: the Campus Village, located in hall 5.
The Campus Village is aimed at the younger generation and anyone wishing to perfect their expertise.
Young engineers with excellent educational backgrounds are in great demand by manufacturers of composite materials and composite parts.
To meet this demand, JEC World is joining forces with 10 partner universities and training institutes to present initial and further training courses in various countries.
