Incoming Mission Composites Meetings 2015 – Japan, the Country of Honour
Composites Materials and Robotics B2B Mission
The Mission
In November, alongside the Composites Meetings Fair (http://www.abe-industry.com/composites-meetings/index.php/en/ ), a leading trade fair in Region de Loire, a 3-day B2B mission will be organised offering a unique opportunity for Japanese companies operating in composite materials and robotics.
This mission combines two days at Composites Meetings, a professional business convention dedicated to composites materials this year featuring Japan as the country of honour, and one more day of specific exchanges, presentations and site visits of companies or technical centre in the region.
The first two days enable to participate to Composites Meetings with fully pre-organised B2B meetings between contractors and suppliers of solutions related to composites materials and processing. Participating suppliers will benefit from free stand and have the possibility to exhibit during the convention.
In parallel of the B2B meetings, some conferences will be organised with participation of industrials, highlighting a particular topic. One of the conference slots will be set aside for the Japanese delegation. The convention also includes the lunches on the venue, and invites the participants to a cocktail ceremony on the first day.
The third day seeks to give more room to presentations from the Japanese delegation, exchanges with the French companies and visits of innovative companies or world-class research infrastructures, in the field of advanced manufacturing (robotics, processes…) in Pays de la Loire ecosystem.
