JMS Bizweek 2026 Unveils Six Mobility Challenge Areas

JAMA Members Unite Around Six Mobility Challenges

JMS Bizweek 2026 will feature a joint exhibition by 14 member companies of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. The event will open October 13 at Makuhari Messe in Mihama Ward, Chiba City, under the exhibition concept “Keep Japan Moving.” The joint display will focus on six specific activities intended to address JAMA’s “new seven priority challenges.” Through the exhibition, Japan’s automakers will present technologies, services, and demonstration projects developed to address changing mobility needs. The event provides a shared platform for the participating companies to demonstrate approaches covering transportation, energy, automation, resource use, and other areas connected with future mobility.

Six Areas Define the Joint Exhibition

The exhibition will be organized into six areas: “multi-pathway,” “hydrogen adoption,” “joint logistics,” “autonomous driving,” “dynamic wireless power transfer,” and “circular economy.” Each area represents a specific activity connected with the challenges identified by JAMA, allowing visitors to see technologies and services through practical applications rather than as isolated concepts. The displays will include demonstration projects alongside technologies being developed by automakers. This structure gives the joint exhibition a broad scope, covering multiple approaches to mobility and transportation while showing how different technical fields can contribute to the future of Japan’s mobility ecosystem.

Technologies and Demonstration Projects Take Center Stage

The six exhibition areas are designed to showcase work spanning different mobility and automotive technology priorities. Multi-pathway approaches and hydrogen adoption address alternative routes toward future transportation, while joint logistics focuses on collaborative approaches to moving goods. Autonomous driving highlights vehicle automation, and dynamic wireless power transfer presents a different approach to vehicle energy supply. The circular economy area addresses resource use and the reuse of materials within mobility-related activities. Together, these areas demonstrate the range of technical and service development being pursued by the participating JAMA members as they work toward solutions for the challenges facing Japan’s mobility sector.

JMS Bizweek 2026 Will Run Alongside CEATEC

As with the previous event, JMS Bizweek 2026 will be held concurrently with CEATEC, which is hosted by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association. The simultaneous scheduling brings the automotive industry's joint exhibition together with an established technology-focused event, creating a setting where mobility-related technologies and broader electronics and information technology developments can be presented during the same period. The arrangement also emphasizes the growing connection between automotive mobility and technologies outside traditional vehicle development. For the participating automakers, the combined event environment provides an opportunity to demonstrate their work within a wider technology ecosystem while maintaining the “Keep Japan Moving” focus of their joint exhibition.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The joint exhibition highlights how Japan’s automotive industry is approaching mobility challenges through multiple technology pathways rather than relying on a single solution. The inclusion of hydrogen, autonomous driving, wireless power transfer, logistics, and circular-economy activities shows the breadth of development priorities being demonstrated by JAMA members. Holding the exhibition alongside CEATEC further connects automotive development with electronics and information technology, potentially strengthening cross-industry visibility for these projects. The immediate significance is the concentration of 14 member companies around six practical activity areas, giving visitors a consolidated view of technologies and demonstration projects intended to support future mobility development.
