Seeking partners for a project related to digital tools for composite manufacturing
About
The lightweight materials and composites industry is a cornerstone of Europe’s transition toward sustainable, resource-efficient, and competitive manufacturing. Lightweighting directly supports EU priorities such as the Green Deal, Fit-for-55, and industrial decarbonization, by enabling reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and improved energy efficiency across transport, construction, and renewable energy sectors.
The DIGICOM-LW project addresses the critical gap of accessible digital tools for composites and lightweighting by developing interoperable calculators and decision-support systems.
