Why Composites? (Introductory series to the advanced Education & Training Series) – Friday, May 31, 2013
The Why Composites series will introduce companies that currently do not use composites in their products to the benefits of using composite materials and technology. It will also identify key business and high level technical criteria to consider when evaluating composites. The series is focused on company leaders responsible for new product development and / or existing product continuous improvement. No knowledge of composites is required to benefit from the series as the training will be targeted to individuals with little or no knowledge of composite applications.
- The first of two sessions under the Why Composites? Series will be held Friday, May 31st from 10:30 am – 1:00 pm at the Composites Innovation Centre. (Tour of the CIC facility to follow for those interested). There will be no fee for this session. The second session will be held 4 to 6 weeks later.
- This series is co-hosted by the Composites Innovation Centre and Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters.
- A two part series with the first being heavily business focused and the second a mix of business and technical.

What people have to say about BIOFIBE:
From aerospace to agriculture, the most pivotal event I have attended regarding the development of North America’s bioproducts industry. I would refer to it as “the seed heard round the world.”
- Joe Hogue, SWM Intl.
I was very impressed with everything that I saw during my visit, from regional support through to local enterprises, and it seems as if there are some opportunities for us to work more closely with businesses and organisations in the region.
