CEATEC 2026 Reveals Exhibition Areas and Key Programs

CEATEC 2026 Sets Out Exhibition Plans

The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) outlined the planned structure of Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association’s CEATEC 2026 during a briefing held September 1. The event is scheduled to run for four days from October 13 to 16 at Makuhari Messe in Mihama Ward, Chiba City. Built around the theme “Transformation - where companies, industries, and society evolve,” the exhibition will bring together companies and organizations working across artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, semiconductors, mobility, and other technology fields to present their latest products and technologies.

New X Park Highlights Eight Technology Themes

CEATEC 2026 will feature four principal exhibition areas, including the newly introduced “X (Transformation) Park.” The new area is designed to present products and technologies across eight themes, with AI, well-being, and social infrastructure among the areas highlighted in the event’s general outline. The addition of X Park expands the exhibition’s focus beyond individual technologies toward broader changes affecting companies, industries, and society. Through these showcases, participating organizations will introduce developments spanning multiple technology fields while reflecting the event’s central transformation-focused theme.

CEATEC 2026 to Run Alongside Japan Mobility Show Bizweek

The 2026 exhibition will also take place simultaneously with Japan Mobility Show Bizweek 2026, organized by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association Inc. The joint scheduling follows the first combined event held in 2024, making 2026 the second time the two events will be conducted together. The arrangement brings the technology-focused CEATEC program into the same broader event period as the mobility-focused business exhibition, creating a shared setting for companies and organizations working across technology and mobility. The event will be held in Japan at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City.
