“CEATEC is a comprehensive digital innovation exhibition where companies that support the digital industry and diverse stakeholders who utilize digital technologies come together to accelerate technological advancement and social implementation.

Following the heightened interest in the future society sparked by Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, one of CEATEC 2026’s key roles is to translate that momentum into concrete industrial and business creation.
The social implementation of advanced technologies such as AI has entered a new phase, driving major transformations across companies, industries, and society while addressing challenges related to GX, DX, and more.
In CEATEC 2026, we will further promote cross-industry collaboration and practical business creation based on these trends. We hope many companies and organizations will take advantage of CEATEC as an excellent opportunity to present their technologies and visions to society, meet new partners, and drive future growth.”
