oil based nonmetallic products are potential solutions for many of our industry’s challenges as innovations allow for the development of new products and solutions used globally to build a better quality of life. The 2nd Nonmetallics Symposium will explore trends and opportunities for polymers in different sectors such as building and construction, packaging, photovoltaics, automotive, and oil & gas.The Symposium also presents a chance to meet with representatives of our sponsor Aramco, one of the world’s largest energy and chemicals companies. After a first edition held in Tokyo, Japan, this symposium will take place on December 17 and 18 in Lyon, France. It is devoted to the field of the non-metallic materials and aims to showcase the technology and business opportunities that are developing globally with a close cooperation between raw materials suppliers, non-metallic producers and key application leaders.

symposium objectives:• Highlight the technology and business opportunities in the area of non-metallic

materials

• Connection between leading companies such as Aramco with technology experts

and supply chain companies

• Presentation of the opportunities of Saudi’s Iktva program and the opportunities

for business cooperation for European companies including SMEs

• Scientific and technology exchanges between experts in nonmetallic developments

and applications

• Pre-arranged B2B meetings will run throughout the symposium in dedicated

meeting rooms.

plastipolis : aramco :PLASTIPOLIS has been off icially appointed in 2005, as France’s competitiveness cluster for the plastics and composites industry sector. Plastipolis has now more than 400 active members (industrial firms, R&D centers, universities, training centers, institutions) including a large number of small and medium size companies. In 2019, Plastipolis has been confirmed by the French Government and Regions as the only Innovation and Competitiveness cluster for plastics and composites industry.

Aramco’s long-term strategy is to expand the company’s downstream activities by unlocking growth opportunities f rom nonmetallic materials, thereby extracting maximum value across the hydrocarbon value chain. With increases in demand expected to come from petrochemicals, Aramco is planning to shift 2 million barrels per day toward the development of integrated refining and chemicals production. Through developments such as nonmetallic materials, Aramco is looking to establish itself as a leading petrochemical and energy enterprise.
