Composites Innovation Event

Composites for Challenging Environments |  Bridging Aerospace, Industry and Space Applications

by Composites United & CompositesNL

• On May 20^th and 21^st , 2026
• Location NLR Netherlands Aerospace Centre, Voorsterweg 31, 8316 PR Marknesse

Join us for the 3^rd edition in Marknesse when we connect the German and Dutch Composites Industry. This edition focuses on composites for challenging environments, where demanding requirements on performance, reliability and production scale drive innovation across multiple sectors. Rather than focusing on a single industry, the event explores what aerospace, space, mobility, defence and other industrial domains can learn from each other.

We will highlight proven and emerging composite materials and manufacturing technologies that have their roots in aerospace, and show how these developments are being translated toward scalable solutions for a broad range of applications, from safety-critical structures to high-rate industrial production.

In addition to technical presentations and panel discussions, the program includes a visit to NLR facilities, a networking dinner, and two company tours on day two, offering direct insight into how these technologies are applied in practice.”

Join our event and enlarge your network with new exciting researchers and innovators! We look forward to welcoming you!
