Home » News » A global first for the idustry: World Paint and Coatings Week

For the first time in history, the global coatings industry will unite for the World Paint and Coatings Week to showcase innovation, sustainability, and industry progress.

The World Paint and Coatings Week is an initiative led by the World Coatings Council. Taking place from 24 to 28 March 2025, this event coincides with the European Coatings Show and the European Coatings Show Conference in Nuremberg, creating a unique opportunity for industry professionals to engage in discussions on the latest developments, innovations, and regulatory trends. By bringing together industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers, the week-long event will serve as a platform to address key challenges such as climate impact, resource efficiency, and the transition to bio-based materials.

A mix of virtual and in-person events will provide opportunities for knowledge exchange, featuring expert panels, keynote speeches, and technical workshops. Key topics will include advancements in low-VOC and bio-based coatings, the role of artificial intelligence in formulation and production, and emerging regulations shaping the future of the industry.

The World Paint and Coatings Week is not only designed for industry professionals but also aims to raise public awareness about the essential role coatings play in everyday life, from infrastructure protection and sustainable building materials to advanced applications in automotive and aerospace sectors. With this first-of-its-kind global initiative, the World Coatings Council seeks to foster collaboration across the entire coatings value chain, supporting a shared vision for a more sustainable and technologically advanced future. Industry professionals, academia, and policymakers are encouraged to participate and contribute to shaping the future of coatings. Further details and registration information will be made available in the coming months. For more information you will find here and have a look at the World Paint and Coatings Week.
