Important results from the project

The project involved participation in JEC World 2026 in Paris, the largest global conference in the composites industry. It achieved and in some areas exceeded its objective. We established four new key partnerships with upstream and downstream OEMs and material producers, took steps towards our first industrial test and initiated dialogues and exploratory collaborations with over 25 companies, while strengthening our European network and market presence.

Expected long term effects

The project is expected to drive long-term commercialization through new business and revenue streams based on established partnerships and dialogues. It enables entry into new markets and strengthens our position in the value chain. Close collaboration with industrial partners supports needs-based technology development, accelerating industrialization, market entry, and our role in the transition to circular solutions.

Approach and implementation

The project was implemented according to plan and in some parts exceeded expectations. It was based on approximately three months of preparation, from initiating the right dialogues to producing sample material and structuring agreements. The activities were well chosen and the project developed according to, or faster than, plan. The schedule was kept without major deviations and the collaboration worked very well.
