ABOUT THE FAIR
Medtec Japan has been one of Asia’s leading medical technology trade fairs since its launch in 2009. It is held annually at the internationally renowned Tokyo Big Sight exhibition centre in Tokyo and is organised by Informa Markets Japan Co., Ltd., a key player within the global Informa Markets network, which delivers major platforms for knowledge exchange and business development worldwide.
The event positions itself as a specialised business and innovation platform covering the entire medical technology value chain—from initial product concepts through design, prototyping and manufacturing to regulatory processes and market entry. Alongside core areas such as medical device development and production, the focus extends to rapidly evolving fields including artificial intelligence in diagnostics, connected medical devices within the Internet of Medical Things, robotic-assisted systems, bionic prosthetics, as well as simulation technologies, virtual reality and additive manufacturing. This is complemented by essential industrial capabilities such as advanced materials, precision engineering, and micro- and nanotechnologies, along with key topics including packaging, sterilisation, quality assurance and cybersecurity in healthcare.
The exhibition showcases specialised products and services ranging from implants, surgical instruments and diagnostic systems to laboratory and analytical equipment, electronic components and software solutions, as well as end-to-end development and manufacturing services across the OEM, ODM and CDMO segments. Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of industries, including medical device manufacturing, electronics and semiconductors, materials science, software development, mechanical engineering, and specialised regulatory and quality assurance services. The visitor profile is equally international and high calibre, bringing together engineers, R&D leaders, product managers, procurement professionals, clinical representatives and decision-makers from pharmaceutical and healthcare organisations, all seeking to initiate concrete business projects and partnerships.
A key strength of Medtec Japan lies in its comprehensive conference programme, which addresses current topics such as digital transformation, regulatory requirements in global markets, and the application of artificial intelligence in clinical settings. This is complemented by networking opportunities, live demonstrations and innovation showcases that offer valuable insight into future industry developments.
Tokyo Big Sight itself stands out for its iconic architecture and modern infrastructure. With excellent transport links, it is easily accessible from Haneda International Airport as well as via Tokyo’s extensive public transport network—reinforcing the event’s international reach and high standards.
The Medtec Japan will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 21. April to Friday, 23. April 2027 in Tokyo.
