The JEC Forum DACH is an annual event organised by JEC Group, in partnership with the AVK, gathering the composite materials community from Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The event, introduced in 2021, is rotating every year in different cities of the DACH region, to promote the regional ecosystem of composites and enable closer connections with the local companies, research & development centers and applications sectors industries.

Organized for the first time in 2021 in Frankfurt, the 2022 JEC Forum DACH will be held at the Messe Augsburg from November 29 to 30. The Augsburg region is hosting major  companies such as Airbus Helicopters, DLR (DEUTSCHES ZENTRUM FUER LUFT- UND RAUMFAHRT E.V.), FAURECIA CLEAN MOBILITY, FRAUNHOFER ICGV, HRC Hengrui Group, KUKA Industries GmbH, MAI Carbon Composites United e. V., MT Aerospace AG, Premium AEROTEC GmbH, Siemens AG and SGL Technologies GmbH.
