The JEC Asia 2013 Composites Show & Conference is held in Singapore from 25 to 27 Jun. The exhibition is considered as the only event in the Asia Pacific region able to bring together all the major players in the global composites industry value chain. This year the focus is on carbon, and aeronautics. These themes will be integrated into JEC Conferences, Networking Programs, the Innovation Showcase as well as other events during the three days.
This year, the JEC Asia 2013 country of honor is JAPAN. The Japanese composites industry is put forward on the exhibition floor with a country pavilion as well as in the conferences with specific content and in many activities and services around the event.
For this edition, JEC Asia and TUM Asia jointly present the Innovative Composites Summit (I.C.S) 2013. It showcases the latest business intelligence and technical content to help promote the use of composites solutions around the world. This year’s summit will focus on carbon aeronautics.
I.C.S is the only summit in the Asia Pacific region that gathers the widest range of technical papers, composites experts and qualified industry delegates in a single event. Dr. Markus Wachter, Managing Director of TUM Asia, said: “As the only Asian campus for the Technische Universitat Munchen, TUM Asia is not just dedicated to supporting educational development of the region’s engineers, we are also committed to bringing the latest information and development to professionals here.
“It is a great privilege for TUM Asia to partner JEC Asia in the I.C.S this year. I am certain that it will be an exciting and enriching event, with experts from all over the world coming to share and discuss the potential innovations that can help shape the industry for the better. We look forward to more of such opportunities, and to contribute our ideas to the development of technologies.”
The JEC Innovation Awards Program is recognized as a leading tool in promoting innovation worldwide. The objective is to spot, promote and reward the most effective solutions that create more value for end users. This year, international companies from Asia Pacific, Middle East and Europe and their partners receive trophies at JEC Asia. There is also the Life Achievement Award and the Student Award.
The organizer also arranges business meetings during the show. Meetings are for establishing new relationships with raw materials producers or distributors, composites processors, machines and equipment dealers, software and services companies, etc. ?This service saves time for the participants with a schedule of targeted meetings organized with exhibitors according to their potential capability to fulfill business requirements.
Asia Pacific is the future of composites. The global composite’s industry employ 550,000 professionals worldwide and generated 83 billion Euros worth of business in 2012. The composites markets in Asia are driven by economic growth. In 2000, Asia accounted for 25% of the global composite production. By 2008, the percentage had risen to 42% and could reach 50% by 2015. The composites market in Asia driven mainly by economic growth amounted to 29 billion euros in 2012.
There is high-potential development of the composites industry in Asia Pacific. The Asian composites market represents 41% of this global industry in volume while only 36% in value. The share in value is likely to increase in the coming years. The potential for improvement is very important to cater the needs of many Asian developing economies. The present trend is a growing number of investments in all of the composites sectors across the board.
