The Innovation Hubs are dedicated zones on the show floor where the most significant emerging technology gets curated space — and where the audience knows to look. Each hub is themed, vetted, and assembled by category leaders from the advisory board.
Recyclable composites
Closed-loop systems, thermoplastic alternatives, end-of-life recovery. From research consortiums to commercial product lines ready to scale.
Additive & automation
Composite 3D printing, robotic layup, AFP/ATL automation. Where the labour and cost equations are being rewritten.
Sustainable fibres
Bio-based, recycled and natural fibre reinforcements. Industrial-grade alternatives gaining specification credibility.
Smart & embedded
Sensors-in-laminate, structural health monitoring, composites with integrated intelligence. The convergence of materials and electronics.
Want your innovation in a hub?
Innovation Hub placement is curated, not paid. We assess technical merit, market readiness and fit with the year's hub themes. If you think your work belongs there, get in touch.
