Why Exhibit at RoboNext 2026?
Japan has long been the global epicentre of robotics manufacturing, but today, the country faces a historic transition. Facing a shrinking workforce and an aging population, Japanese industries are investing billions in "Hyper-Automation"—and they are looking globally for the next breakthrough.
Tap into Japan’s Urgent Demand for Automation The need for automation in Japan is no longer about marginal efficiency—it is a matter of business survival. From the factory floor to logistics hubs and elderly care, Japanese enterprises are actively seeking external, ready-to-deploy robotics and AI solutions. Exhibiting here places your technology directly in front of an incredibly eager market.
Unrivaled Industrial Network via The Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun Organized by Japan’s leading industrial newspaper, RoboNext leverages an unmatched corporate network. This guarantees that your booth will be visited not by general hobbyists, but by qualified B2B buyers, factory managers, and C-level executives who possess real purchasing power and specific procurement mandates.
Establish Critical Partnerships with Local System Integrators Entering the Japanese market successfully requires strong local collaboration. RoboNext is the definitive gathering point for Japan’s top System Integrators (SIs). By showcasing your hardware or software, you can secure the vital distribution and integration partnerships needed to scale your business across Japan and the wider Asian market.
Secure your foothold in the world's most advanced robotics landscape. Exhibit at RoboNext 2026 and accelerate your global growth.
