In a region where collaboration and sustainability are inseparable, a new wave of composites entrepreneurs are taking advantage, proving the Dutch mindset is fertile ground for growth. 

Arceon enters into U.S. hypersonics following its stand-out pitch and selection during a November Blue Magic Netherlands event.

Four category focuses were announced, including one focused on durable, modular and cost‑efficient TPS to be contributed to by Arceon composites.

U.S. aerospace and defense markets are expected to benefit from Arceon’s expertise in C/C-Sic materials and Goodman’s presence in the nanocomposites ecosystem.

Dutch startup is awarded for its first ESA project proposal to co-develop attitude control thrusters for satellites and launch vehicles supported by its CMC expertise.

Tenzing Alpha is investing in the material science startup to support Arceon’s creation of materials including composites for harsh environments.

Arceon’s Carbeon materials serves to bridge the gap between research and industry, capable of handling extreme temperatures and thermal shock among other properties for defense, space and beyond.

Carbeon C/C-SiC ceramic matrix composites are being developed and tested for rocket nozzles, onboard the International Space Station and in electric aviation, metal treatment and reactor applications.

Dutch startup Arceon is working with leaders in space, hypersonics and industry to test its Carbeon CMC, validating near-net-shape parts with <3% porosity and performance at 1600ºC, targeting UHTCMC and a presence in the U.S. in 2025.

CW Tech Days: High-Temperature Composite Solutions for Defense and Space Applications will take place Oct. 16, 2025.
