JEC Group will name the winners of the 2020 JEC Innovation Awards on May 13 at noon (CET) through digital broadcasting for the first time.
The recent global health crisis has prevented the ceremony from taking place during JEC World 2020.
JEC says this initiative will be followed very soon by another digital program and a unique and exciting time that brings the composites industry together.

Franck GLOWACZ, Innovation Content Leader at JEC Group, said: “We are very proud and excited to bring you this new all-digital JEC Innovation awards ceremony during this challenging era of social distancing and limited travel. JEC Composites Innovation Awards are more than just an awards ceremony. They are meant to inspire the whole industry and shed light on the excellent work carried out by the prize winners, and a year couldn’t go without celebrating them.”
After pre-selecting 33 finalists, a cutting-edge selection process and a prestigious jury has selected one winner in each category (Additive Manufacturing, Aeronautics, Automotive, Construction- Infrastructures & Civil engineering, Design & Furniture, Maritime Transportation & Shipbuilding, Process, Railway Vehicles & Infrastructure, Recycling, Space, Sports & Health care).
The online ceremony will be hosted by Peter Hopwood and Franck Glowacz from 12 to 1pm, and each of the awards will be named by the jury members.
