The composites industry is complex, global, and deeply interconnected. Yet too often, it operates in segments. Materials, manufacturing, OEMs, investors, and emerging technologies all play critical roles, but rarely come together in a single, commercially focused environment.
The International Composites Summit (ICS) is designed to change that.
A Business-First, Globally Connected Platform
Taking place on 1–2 December 2026 at The Drum, Wembley, ICS brings together stakeholders from across the full value chain, creating a space where business, investment, and innovation intersect.
The summit is built around a clear principle: connection drives progress.
By combining a business-first approach with global accessibility, ICS creates opportunities for:
- Materials suppliers to engage directly with OEMs.
- Manufacturers to explore new applications across sectors.
- Investors to identify scalable technologies and opportunities.
- Start-ups to connect with partners and funding pathways.
- Academic institutions to align research with commercial need.
Creating Density Where It Matters
Rather than operating in silos, the summit creates density across the value chain, enabling:
- Cross-sector collaboration between aerospace, automotive, energy, and construction.
- Direct engagement between innovation and application.
- Conversations that move beyond theory into commercial reality.
This environment is increasingly important as the industry seeks to scale technologies, address sustainability challenges, and respond to evolving global demand.
Growing Interest from Across the Ecosystem
ICS is seeing growing engagement from organisations across the composites landscape, alongside increasing interest from investors looking to better understand the opportunities within the sector.
This reflects a broader shift within the industry, as businesses recognise the need for stronger alignment between innovation, investment, and application.
Strengthening The Industry Through Connection
ICS does not aim to replace global trade shows. Instead, it complements them by creating a focused environment where connections can deepen, and opportunities can be explored.
As the industry continues to evolve, platforms that bring the full value chain together will play an increasingly important role.
ICS 2026 is positioning itself at the centre of that conversation.
