Polymer Exchange

The purpose of the mission "Polymer Exchange" is to develop technological and commercial partnerships  between American and French entities in the field of innovative polymers applied to various subject areas.
  

Upon the tradeshow NPE 2009 in Chicago, French organization Plastipolis had initiated relationships with  American groups and firms sharing the same interests in innovative polymers. In an effort to further the  bonds then established and spur the collaboration to the next level, Plastipolis, partnered with the French  Embassy trade office (Ubifrance), will come back to the US, along with a delegation of associates.

    

This mission will now integrate several French competitiveness groups under Plastipolis' leadership as well as company members and research centers. The ultimate goal of this visit will be to meet potential partners, present French technologies and products and learn about the expectations and interests regarding the delegation's provision. Eventually, this would lead to in-depth cooperation.

The mission will take place in both Chicago, IL and then Columbus, OH from June 1st thru June 4th included. The French delegation will comprise the following clusters:

   

- Plastipolis

- IAR

- Microtechniques

- CEA-Liten
