From R&D&I to industrial production

Innovation is only truly transformative when it successfully makes the leap from the laboratory to the production line. In this exclusive tour, we connect the two pillars of industrial progress: advanced research and real transformation capabilities.

We will begin the tour with leading technology centers, which will reveal the most disruptive research lines they are currently working on. Afterwards, we will visit manufacturing companies that are already applying these advances to produce real-world solutions. These concrete industrial applications enable companies to become more competitive through innovative processes and products that are already making a difference in today’s market.

Sustainability and functionality: the future of materials

A product’s success today depends on its ability to be both sustainable and efficient. In this tour, we will be introduced to new material developments by companies leading the transition toward a new generation of polymers.

During the tour, we will discover innovations that challenge the myth that sustainability compromises performance. We will visit exhibitors presenting new bio-based materials, polymers designed for circularity, and solutions with high recycled-content materials that maintain — or even surpass — the technical and aesthetic performance of traditional materials. An essential tour for understanding how functionality and environmental responsibility are converging to shape the products of tomorrow.
