The International Composites Summit (ICS) is calling on startups, spinouts, and scale-ups in composites, advanced materials, and connected technologies to apply for a spot on the new ICS Pitching Stage, set to take place on 2 3 December 2025 at The Drum, Wembley.

This dynamic platform is designed to showcase breakthrough innovations in front of a targeted audience of investors, OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and corporate partners. Selected companies will deliver short pitches, followed by live Q&A sessions and high-impact networking over the two-day summit.

The ICS Pitching Stage is powered by Catalysium, a specialist in startup and investor engagement, and supported by Fluency Exchange. Participating companies will benefit from profile-raising visibility, strategic partnership opportunities, and tailored support to help accelerate commercialization.

Finalists will also compete for the opportunity to join an ICS Innovation Hub at a major international composites event in 2026, gaining access to exhibition space and global marketing exposure.

The ICS Pitching Stage is not just a platform to present, said Gemma Hardy, managing director at Composite Connections, a Fluency company and ICS owner. It s a gateway to meaningful engagement, expert support, and long-term growth.

ICS 2025 aims to foster a thriving innovation ecosystem across aerospace, automotive, construction, marine, energy, and sports, connecting the next generation of composite innovators directly with capital, knowledge, and opportunity.
