Exhibition
February 28, 2024
With many FA-related exhibitions taking place in Japan and around the world this year, the editorial board of SEISANZAI Japan has outlined the schedule for this year’s FA-related exhibitions (as of February 2024). Key events include “ROBOT TECHNOLOGY JAPAN (RTJ 2024)” in July, “International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS 2024)” in September, and “The 32nd Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF 2024)” in November. Last year, against the backdrop of China’s economic slowdown and rising geopolitical risks, the global machine tool industry also showed signs of stagnation. After the COVID-19 pandemic, exhibitions that are a hybrid of face-to-face and online have become more common. Expectations have been high for each exhibition, which has shifted to a new normal, to serve as a catalyst to drive demand.
