The International Composites Summit (ICS) 2026 is building strong exhibitor momentum, with growing interest from across the global composites value chain.
Returning on 1–2 December 2026 at The Drum, Wembley, ICS is positioning itself as a commercially focused platform where businesses come together to connect, collaborate, and drive the industry forward.
A Fully Integrated Value Chain
Exhibitor discussions are progressing across the full composites ecosystem, including:
- Materials suppliers.
- Component manufacturers.
- OEMs and Tier suppliers.
- MRO and recycling specialists.
- Technology providers.
- Start-ups and scale-ups.
- Investors and academic institutions.
This breadth of engagement is creating a high-value environment where different parts of the industry can interact directly, enabling conversations that rarely happen within sector-specific events.
Crucially, this density across the value chain allows companies to engage not only with their immediate customers and suppliers, but also with new sectors, new applications, and new commercial opportunities.
A Commercially Focused Environment
Companies are choosing to exhibit at ICS because it is where the global network comes together in a targeted, commercially focused environment to address the industry’s most pressing challenges and opportunities.
Rather than focusing on volume, ICS is designed to deliver:
- Meaningful engagement with decision-makers.
- Direct access to cross-sector opportunities.
- Conversations that support real business outcomes.
This approach is particularly relevant for organisations looking to move beyond visibility and towards measurable commercial impact, especially as the industry faces increasing pressure to scale technologies and deliver at pace.
Building On International Momentum
ICS continues to strengthen its global reach, supported by initiatives such as Innovation Hubs at major industry events including JEC, CAMX, and Advanced Engineering.
Following success in 2025, METOL, the winner of the inaugural ICS Pitching Competition, has gone on to secure a place on the ICS Innovation Hub at CAMX, taking place in Atlanta, 21st – 24th September 2026, showcasing its technology to a global audience and demonstrating how engagement extends beyond the event itself.
This ongoing engagement highlights how ICS supports companies not just at the event, but throughout their growth journey, connecting them with international platforms, partners, and opportunities.
A Timely Opportunity for Exhibitors
As the composites industry faces increasing pressure to scale production, improve sustainability, and strengthen supply chains, the need for closer collaboration across the value chain has never been greater.
ICS 2026 provides a platform for organisations to position themselves at the centre of these conversations, connect with the right partners, and help shape the future of the industry.
With exhibitor interest continuing to grow, companies are encouraged to engage early to secure their place within what is becoming a key meeting point for the composites sector, and to play a role in shaping the conversations that will define its future.
