Innovation & Technology
The field of composite materials is evolving rapidly — with innovations in fibres, resins, manufacturing methods, automation and digitalisation.
Innovations also emerge in how and where composites are applied, with increasing focus on integration, durability and smart maintenance.
CompositesNL brings together companies, researchers and public partners to accelerate this development.
We contribute to strategic innovation programmes, support collaborative R&D and strengthen the sector’s connection to national and European agendas — including HTSM and EU-funded projects.
NEXTGEN (NXTGEN Hightech Equipment – Composieten)
An innovative high-tech programme focused on the digitalisation and automation of next-generation composite production machines, aiming for zero-defect manufacturing in sectors such as aerospace and e-mobility.
Circulair Box
Research project within the ThermoPlastic Composites Application Center, focused on developing recyclable composite boxes and sandwich panels, including design optimisation for circular value chains.
BIO Add (bio-additives & fillers platform)
Platform for bio-based additives and natural fillers, specifically developed for bio-based composites, with a focus on sustainable alternatives derived from circular raw materials.
