RX Japan is preparing for the 40th edition of
Nepcon Japan, one of the world’s most established trade events for the electronics and technology industries. The show will take place from 21–23 January 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight, and is set to be the largest in its history, with more than 1,850 exhibitors expected to take part, including those participating in concurrent shows.
Celebrating four decades of industry leadership,
Nepcon Japan will occupy the entire Tokyo Big Sight venue, offering visitors an expanded platform to explore innovations in electronics manufacturing, semiconductors, and advanced packaging technologies. The event will also feature a special discussion with senior executives from leading electronics, semiconductor, and automotive parts manufacturers, focusing on how technology and the world may evolve over the next five to 10 years.
At the keynote session, Scott Chen, senior vice president of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering Inc (ASE), will speak on advanced packaging. Dr Rao R. Tummala of the Georgia Institute of Technology will address the ‘Emergence of Indian Semiconductor Industry for India and the World.’ More than 200 seminars will be held during the event, with contributions from companies such as Infineon Technologies Japan, StarPower Semiconductor, and Intel.
Shape the future togetherMasaki Soda, Nepcon Japan show director, said: “The 40th year of
Nepcon Japan is not just a milestone — it is a reflection of how far the industry has come and where it is headed. We are excited to create an environment where professionals can connect, learn, and shape the future together.”
Nepcon Japan will run alongside three major exhibitions:
Automotive World, Factory Innovation Week, and
Smart Logistics Expo. Automotive World will showcase advancements in automotive technologies, including software-defined vehicles and sustainable materials, and will host special events such as EV disassembly exhibits and an AI Hackathon Contest. Keynote speakers include Hirofumi Inoue, president of advanced R&D and engineering company at Toyota Motor Corporation, and Toshihiro Akiwa, chief officer and automobile development operations director at Honda Motor Co Ltd.
Factory Innovation Week will present solutions for manufacturing across four specialised zones — Automation, Robotics, Sustainable Manufacturing, and Human Resources — alongside exhibits of humanoid robots and wearable technologies.
Smart Logistics Expo will feature innovations in logistics, including a dedicated zone for EV trucks and a wide range of solutions supporting supply chain efficiency.
By hosting these exhibitions concurrently,
RX Japan aims to maximise networking opportunities and deliver a comprehensive experience for visitors across relevant sectors. Registration for visitors is free at the
