WHY CEATEC
History
The origin of CEATEC can be traced back to the "Japan Electronics Industry Exhibition" that started in 1962. The CEATEC exhibition was composed of four sections: "Televisions, Radios and Other Audio Equipment," "Radio Equipment including Electronic Applied Equipment," "Measuring Instruments," and "Electronic Components," with 207 exhibitors and approximately 150,000 visitors over the 10-day period. The show's characteristics as a "comprehensive exhibition" that exhibited a very wide range of themes from parts to finished products have been passed down to the present day. In 2000, the Electronics Show was merged with COM JAPAN, an information and communications exhibition, to form CEATEC JAPAN. In 2007, the show attracted 200,000 visitors, firmly establishing itself as a "comprehensive exhibition of cutting-edge IT and electronics. In 2016, the exhibition was transformed into the "CPS/IoT Exhibition," bringing together everything from electronic components and devices that form the backbone of the IoT to finished products, equipment, and services that make use of these components and devices, all under one roof. It has become one of Japan's leading exhibitions that attracts a great deal of attention from society as a place where key people from Japan and abroad gather.
