CompositesWorld's Investment Forum 2009

The second annual CompositesWorld Investment Forum is the international conference designed for executives from leading composite industry suppliers, industry analysts, investment bankers, and industry end users to discuss opportunities for composite materials in projected high-growth markets, such as commercial aircraft and renewable energy applications, like wind blades.

More than 100 marketing executives, business development specialists, investment analysts and composite industry experts will explore the global and regional outlook for composite materials in commercial aviation, sporting goods, wind energy, construction and infrastructure, CNG and hydrogen storage tanks and marine and automotive applications. Discussions will focus on economic forces impacting these markets, such as high energy costs and global warming, and how composite companies can profit from these forces and increase market share over traditional materials like steel, aluminum and concrete. Presentations will include supply and demand forecasts and how investment in advanced automation production processes are helping composite materials penetrate these markets.
