From March 10 to 12, 2026, UBSIDE will be attending JEC World, the world’s leading trade show dedicated to composite materials, at Paris Nord Villepinte.
The global meeting point for composites
Organized annually in Paris for over 60 years, JEC World is the industry’s flagship event, bringing together all major players in the composites value chain in a spirit of innovation, business, and networking. This 2026 edition marks a decisive milestone in terms of scale and ambition, perfectly echoing its signature: “Pushing the limits.”
The show takes place on March 10 and 11 from 9 am to 6 pm, and on March 12 from 9 am to 5 pm, at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre.
Why meet us at JEC World 2026?
At Ubside, innovation in composite materials is at the heart of our expertise. We support companies in their applied R&D projects, from design to implementation, by mobilizing the skills of the Université Bretagne Sud laboratories and the IRMA Institute.
Our presence at JEC World 2026 is a natural part of this dynamic: meeting industrial players, sharing the progress of our work, and identifying new challenges that our expertise can address.
Our areas of intervention directly linked to the show’s themes:
- Processing of composite materials: AFP, filament winding, XXL additive manufacturing, multiphysics process modeling
- Sustainable polymer materials: eco-design, life cycle assessment (LCA), biodegradability, recycling, custom formulation
- Pressure vessels: design, manufacturing, and testing (multi-instrumented burst tests) of innovative composite tanks
- Material and interface characterization: mechanical, physico-chemical, and microstructural analyses
This expertise covers key sectors represented at JEC World: aeronautics, automotive, naval, defense, drones, renewable energies, and sports & leisure.
Innovation and sustainability: the challenges that bring us together
Innovation and sustainability are at the heart of JEC World 2026. Composites have always been key levers for decarbonization thanks to their lightweight properties and durability, and are now moving towards increased circularity, with bio-based and recyclable materials available on a commercial scale.
These challenges echo UBSIDE’s DNA: our teams work daily on composite recyclability, eco-design, and environmental assessment of materials.
Come and meet us
JEC World is the ideal opportunity for us to exchange with industrialists, researchers, decision-makers, and potential partners regarding concrete R&D projects in composite materials.
