##The Smart Plastics Congress is changing and becoming the Smart Polymers Congress!

The Congress will celebrate its 10th edition in this new format on 25 March 2025 in Paris. It will focus on plastronics, printed electronics and surface functionalization of polymer materials.
The technical conferences will focus on the results of research projects and the latest technological innovations, taking into account all polymer solutions (plastics, rubbers or composites).
The conference will cover all applications, with a particular focus on technologies for the automotive and mobility sectors.

➔Online B2B meetings will be open to all speakers and participants on 26, 27 and 28 March.

The event is organised by POLYMERIS and NEXTMOVE .

Polymeris, supports companies in the plastics, rubber and composites industries in France and internationally. A key player in innovation, it supports a dynamic industry by working with public and private partners at various levels. Its network of 450 members and 65 partner organisations** stimulates R&D, promotes innovation and fosters the international development of manufacturers.

NextMove leads and represents France's "Mobility Valley", one of Europe's leading Automotive & Mobility innovation ecosystems, covering the entire value chain where sustainable mobility solutions are invented, developed, tested and industrialised. From research to industry and services, NextMove brings together the key players in the Normandy and Ile-de-France regions to boost their competitiveness and support the transition.

We offer pitch opportunities, which are free of charge but subject to acceptance by the program committee.
