ABOUT THE FAIR
The Pharma Digital Transformation Expo (PDx) is one of the leading trade fairs for digital innovation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It is held annually at the prestigious INTEX Osaka International Exhibition Center in Japan. As an integral part of INTERPHEX Japan—one of Asia’s largest pharmaceutical trade shows—PDx brings together forward-looking technologies, global industry leaders, and innovative solution providers to actively shape the digital transformation of the sector.
The name PDx represents a specialized forum focused on digital technologies applied across the entire pharmaceutical value chain—from research and development, through manufacturing, to distribution. The event is organized by RX Japan Ltd., one of the country’s leading trade show organizers, known for its internationally relevant and thematically focused B2B exhibitions.
The expo highlights current advancements in areas such as Pharma 4.0, smart manufacturing processes, AI-driven drug discovery, digital quality assurance, cybersecurity, cloud-based platforms, connected laboratory systems, digital therapeutics, and personalized medicine. The emphasis is not solely on individual products, but on integrated digital solutions that significantly enhance efficiency, transparency, and sustainability across the industry. From electronic lab notebooks and IoT-enabled manufacturing to GxP-compliant software, the event serves as a key platform for decision-makers looking to strategically leverage technological innovation.
PDx targets a qualified professional audience from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical technology, and IT sectors. It is particularly geared toward production managers, compliance specialists, digitalization experts, heads of research, and IT strategists—from startups to multinational corporations. The goal is to identify and further develop viable, regulatory-compliant, and future-ready digital solutions.
As part of the INTERPHEX trade show series, which is held in major Japanese cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, PDx belongs to a nationwide network with strong international reach. The format strengthens Japan’s position as an innovation hub for digital pharmaceutical technologies.
A distinctive feature of the expo includes expert forums, live demonstrations, and interactive networking formats designed to promote knowledge exchange and foster new business relationships. Industry expert discussions, innovation contests, and award ceremonies offer additional opportunities for positioning and visibility within the sector.
Osaka itself is recognized as a key hub of the biopharmaceutical industry and offers excellent accessibility via Kansai International Airport, the Shinkansen high-speed rail network, and a highly efficient local transportation system. With its modern infrastructure and direct transit connections, INTEX Osaka provides the ideal setting for a trade fair that showcases the digital evolution of the global pharmaceutical industry.
