The International Composites Summit (ICS) has announced it has formed a partnership with JEC with the aim of facilitating international trade, fostering innovation, and strengthening economic ties between the UK and global composites industries.

Bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and innovators from across the composites sector, ICS is scheduled to take place from 6-7 September 2023, at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes. ICS promises to be a unique platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and exploring the latest advancements in composite materials internationally, bringing people together to do business.

The UK composites sector has emerged as a hub of excellence, offering a diverse range of opportunities for companies seeking to expand their business internationally. Through this strategic partnership, ICS will be used as a primary platform to highlight the advantages and potential of trading with the UK composites sector, connecting international companies with the wealth of resources, expertise, and innovations available.

With its extensive global network and industry expertise, ICS will leverage the JEC partnership to provide a platform for European and global companies to explore and seize business opportunities. Through targeted initiatives, intensive promotional activities, and networking events, the partners will facilitate connections and collaborations, fostering mutually beneficial trade relationships.

JEC will support the event through its media channels and provide a digital solution for exhibitors and attendees to connect and meet during the event in September. This solution will connect qualified business partners with an aim of connecting composites industry buyers with ICS exhibitors. Support will be offered prior to the show and will help attendees plan and organise quality meetings. The team is very excited to be offering this new connecting solution that represents a unique opportunity to meet with relevant buyers and contractors, suppliers, and reliable R&D partners.
