  1. 01

    Business people from many countries collaborating across fields

    Industries Meet Here

    Exhibitors reach well beyond electronics and IT, extending to mobility, materials, finance, and local government. A technology or concept you had no prior connection to turns out to answer the problem in front of you — CEATEC is full of encounters like that.

  2. 02

    Ideas Shown Early

    Alongside products already on the market, you will find technologies still in trial and research results not yet commercialized — proposals aimed at the society of several years from now.

  3. 03

    Visitors talking with one another and new connections forming

    Partners Worth Finding

    This is where conversations with customers, partners, and investors begin. Startups, universities, and research institutions take part in large numbers.
