2009 JEC Asia Conferences and Forums: Composites for better living
As part of the 2009 JEC Asia event in Singapore (October 14-15-16), JEC gathers over 40 international speakers to propose four new user forums, an economic conference and a technical conference.

Tweet-- As part of the 2009 JEC Asia event in Singapore (October 14-15-16), JEC gathers over 40 international speakers to propose four new user forums, an economic conference and a technical conference. With the emergence of new needs, why propose such a comprehensive programme dedicated to the Asian-Pacific composites market?
Asia’s composites market is being driven by economic growth and now represents more than 18 billion euros, with average annual growth rates of about 8% and growth in the double digits for aerospace and wind energy. We can also observe a strong emergence of new needs in construction, energy, and all types of transportation, sectors in which new ideas and innovative solutions are emerging too, from leading innovative companies but also many new players. Finally, technology transfer is alive and well.
JEC uses its network of 250,000 composite professionals in 96 countries worldwide to bring the top experts from each sector together, analyse the markets, search out innovative companies, and publish first-rate technical content. This program is heavily supported by Asia’s scientific communities, outstanding manufacturers, and the Singapore authorities.
In 2009, JEC welcomes new partners from China and Taiwan, Japan, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Australia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), France, Germany, the USA, the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands. Some of Asia’s top universities also participate by reporting on the major projects they are conducting in partnership with manufacturers, or explaining how their work helps to advance the spread of composites in the different application markets.
For the third year in a row, JEC proposes a technical conference in partnership with Stanford University. This year’s conference is on “Composite design for aircraft and wind turbines”. Dr. Tsai’s presentation will deal with design tools as a way to empower delegates to challenge existing rules and to think creatively.
The economic conference will provide a better understanding of the Asian markets and also, for the first time, a very sound legal perspective on intellectual property rights and international business law to help you develop without risk.
The Wind Energy forum will present an analysis of all aspects of Asia’s booming wind energy market, from financing, which is rarely mentioned, to technology development all along the value chain.
The Aeronautics forum will be devoted to maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO). Some of the leading companies will be there to share their in-depth expertise in that field and enable potential technology transfers.
The Automotive and Mass Transportation forum will use a number of case studies to show how the industry is changing by proposing new concepts for lighter, cheaper and safer vehicles that are adapted to demand in Asia.
The Construction and Civil Engineering forum will present the industry’s latest innovations and show that there is a composite solution for every need. All aspects concerning the maintenance and rehabilitation of the structures in question will be covered. A number of case studies will be used.
