Piemonte is again in the international spotlight thanks to its expertise in advanced manufacturing as a strategic hub for composite materials: the third edition of JEC Forum Italy will take place in Torino on June 8–9, 2027 

Torino, March 12, 2026 – The next venue for JEC Forum Italy, the international B2B event dedicated to composite materials and their industrial applications, has been announced in Paris: Torino will host the third edition of the Forum, scheduled for June 8-9, 2027 at OGR (Officine Grandi Riparazioni). The announcement was made during JEC World 2026 and was accompanied by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between JEC Group and Piemonte Agency, in the presence of the Piemonte Regional Government and Assocompositi, the Italian composites association and a long-standing partner of JEC. The MoU formalizes a shared ambition: to strengthen Italy’s visibility in the global composites market - particularly that of Piemonte - accelerate connections, promote innovation and sustainable industrial solutions, and support the competitiveness of the industrial system.

“Bringing the 2027 edition of the JEC Forum Italy to Torino means recognizing Piemonte as a central player in the European advanced manufacturing and composite materials supply chains. It is the result of the work that the Regional Government, together with other institutional partners, has been carrying out to strengthen the attractiveness of the territory and create the conditions for investments, innovation, and major international events to choose our production system”, declares Andrea Tronzano, Regional Minister for Productive Activities and Internationalization of the Piemonte Regional Government. “The agreement with JEC and the collaboration with Piemonte Agency for Investment and Export reinforce this path: promoting the skills of our companies – from automotive to aerospace, from mechatronics to advanced manufacturing – and connecting them with the main global players. The Forum will be a great opportunity to showcase Piemonte’s industrial quality to the world and to open new growth and market opportunities for our companies.”

“We are proud to host JEC Forum Italy 2027 in Torino, an event that will highlight industrial innovation and Piedmont’s excellence in the composite materials sector,” said Dario Peirone, President of Piemonte Agency. “Over the years, our team has participated in several JEC events, appreciating their quality and their ability to foster connections between business, research and innovation. From this experience came the desire to strengthen our collaboration, bringing it to fruition here in Piemonte with the next edition of the Forum. This initiative will offer global industry leaders and investors a unique platform to connect with Piemonte’s excellence in mobility, aerospace, mechatronics and health and wellness, sectors in which the application of cutting-edge composite material technologies finds one of its strongest expressions.”

Piemonte’s long and well-established industrial tradition played a decisive role in selecting the region as the host of the third edition of the JEC Forum. Piemonte boasts outstanding expertise in numerous strategic sectors - particularly automotive and transportation, aerospace, mechatronics, advanced manufacturing, and health and wellness - and is a true international hub for innovation and the application of composite materials. Thanks to a highly specialized industrial ecosystem and a dynamic research and development network, Piedmont is today a key reference point for international companies and investors operating in advanced and high-technology sectors.
"With this third edition, JEC Forum Italy continues to grow and strengthen its role as a strategic business platform for the growing Italian composites community. After Bologna and Cernobbio, hosting the event in Torino - at the heart of Piemonte’s industrial excellence - marks a new milestone. The signature of the MOU with Piemonte Agency for Investment and Export, alongside our long-standing collaboration with Assocompositi, provides a powerful foundation for international development and innovation," said Anne-Carole Barbarin, JEC Group.

The JEC Forum offers a highly qualified, business-oriented format designed to foster targeted meetings between companies, suppliers and buyers through pre-scheduled B2B agendas, thematic conferences and networking opportunities. Hosted in strategically important cities worldwide, the Forum brings together operators, manufacturers, innovators and decision-makers from around the globe, facilitating the creation of industrial partnerships, technological collaborations and new investment opportunities. Thanks to its selective approach and focus on high value-added sectors, the JEC Forum is a strategic platform for accessing the latest technological innovations, identifying global market trends and strengthening companies’ competitiveness in international markets.
In addition, the ongoing collaboration between JEC Group and Assocompositi ensures strong mobilization of the entire Italian composites value chain, from material producers and processors to machinery manufacturers, OEMs and the main application industries.
"Italy remains one of the leading European players in the composite materials market, a strategic sector for numerous high value-added industrial supply chains, contributing approximately 14,2% to the total production of composites in Europe. commented Roberto Frassine, President of Assocompositi. The Italian composite materials market is characterized by a strong presence of SMEs (56% of the market) with a diversified industrial structure, capable of combining traditional production with innovative applications. Italy's position in the European landscape highlights not only its significant production capacity, but also its growth potential linked to technological evolution, sustainability and the demand for advanced solutions in key industrial sectors, particularly boating, automotive, aerospace and construction. For this reason, the choice of Torino for the next edition of JEC Forum Italy represents a decision of high strategic value”.
