JEC Startup Booster 2026 Announcement of Finalists Cover

We are excited to share some news from the global composites and advanced manufacturing community. Zetamotion has been selected as a finalist in the JEC World Startup Booster competition.

The announcement was made on JEC World TV and highlights a small group of companies pushing the boundaries of materials, manufacturing processes, and digital technologies. Watch the full JEC World Premiere here.

Why this recognition matters

JEC World is widely regarded as the leading international event for composites and advanced manufacturing. Being named a Startup Booster finalist places Zetamotion among innovators working on practical solutions to real production challenges.

For us, this recognition reinforces a principle that has guided our work from the beginning. Quality inspection does not need to be slow, fragile, or dependent on massive volumes of defect data. By combining AI based inspection with synthetic data, manufacturers can detect defects earlier, handle high variation, and scale quality inspection with far less friction.

Our approach builds on what many manufacturers experience on the shop floor today. Limited defect samples, frequent product changes, and complex surfaces make traditional inspection systems hard to scale. Synthetic data allows inspection models to be trained and adapted without waiting for rare defects to occur, supporting faster deployment and more consistent results across lines and plants. You can learn more about this approach in our overview of synthetic data for quality inspection.

What is next. Paris and JEC World 2026

In March 2026, we will be heading to Paris Nord Villepinte to pitch Zetamotion live on the JEC World stage. The JEC World 2026 exhibition brings together manufacturers, OEMs, suppliers, and technology leaders from across the composites ecosystem.

We are looking forward to meaningful conversations around topics such as:

• How AI powered inspection can adapt to high variation, rare defects, and complex composite geometries
• Practical lessons from deploying inspection systems in real production environments
• How manufacturers can improve quality, sustainability, and throughput without adding inspection bottlenecks

Our team will be sharing how the Spectron platform supports these goals through flexible configuration, synthetic data driven training, and integration into existing quality workflows. If you are curious about how this works in practice, you can explore an overview of the Spectron quality inspection platform.

Thank you

Thank you to the JEC Group and the Startup Booster jury for the recognition. We also appreciate the manufacturers and partners who continue to share real inspection problems with us. Those conversations are what keep our work practical and focused.

If you are attending JEC World 2026, feel free to stop by and say hello. We look forward to the discussions in Paris.
