Polyvia, ACDI, and INFOPRO DIGITAL wish to establish a triennial cycle of events. This cycle will start with the K trade fair in Düsseldorf in 2025, followed by FIP in 2026. The year after FIP (2027, 2030…), a thematic congress will be organized to review emerging trends, environmental issues, or other strategic topics for the future of the sector.
The aim of this schedule is to ensure the continuous influence of the French plastics and composites industry while increasing opportunities for meetings, exchanges, and promotion of the sector to all the professionnals.
Image and attractiveness
"The ambition is to join our strengths to increase FIP while continuing to enhance its reputation at the European level. No one should miss out on FIP. It is crucial to highlight the advantages of plastics to the entire industry, including public opinion. This renewed alliance should help improve the overall image of the sector and strengthen its attractiveness in terms of education and recruitment," explain Stéphanie Collot
