Experience Composites: Ambitious goals and great resonance

This event will bring together large concerns, medium-sized companies, start-ups and potential users of fibre composite materials and, for this reason, emphasis is being placed on application knowledge and innovative impulses. With the aim of setting composites in scene as the material of the future, a new event format has been developed especially for “Experience Composites”: the multiple-location format.  Alongside the trade fair to be housed in two halls in Augsburg, there will also be two congresses accompanying the trade fair, visits to companies and scientific establishments (“Science Shuttles”), an attractive training programme as well as meetings at cultural highlights in and around Augsburg to enable networking and the preparation and conclusion of business deals.

 

“With the new multiple-location format, we have successfully managed to map the desires and requirements of our customers. We are sure that this approach will further the composites sector. Mentors from science and companies for the various sectors within our event will ensure the highest quality of representation, exhibits and messages”, says Philip Häußler, head of the “Experience Composites” project.

 

The trade fair itself forms the focal point of the new personal composites experience market place. One hall of the “Experience Composites” is dedicated to fibre composites and light-weight construction added-value. The second hall will present six “industry showrooms”  in which the exhibits, news, innovations and pilot projects for the key composites B2B sectors are displayed.

 

National and international speakers will detail the news and opportunities surrounding composite materials. Speakers and presentations from six sectors and from the entire composites process chain will provide information and answers to all the key composites areas in the B2B sector on the basis of the successful “Fachtagung Carbon Composites”. 

 

The Augsburg region is one of the international scientific, research and development centres for light-weight construction and fibre composites. “Experience Composites” is offering visits to the Fraunhofer Institut für Chemische Technologie (Fraunhofer ICT), the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (German centre for aviation and space travel), the Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften (University of Applied Sciences) and the University of Augsburg. The event also showcases the recently created “Augsburg Innovationspark”, a cluster of companies and research institutes with a focus on light-weight construction which is located close to the Messe Augsburg.

 

Visitors and exhibitors will also have the opportunity to take part in training sessions regarding thermo-plastic fibre-plastic composites, technical English for composites specialists or innovative material solutions for mechanical engineering. A particular highlight is the seminar on Change Management in the use of carbon components.
