AI Expo Osaka 2026: Reviving Kansai's Strength with AI

Scheduled for January 21-22, 2026, in Osaka, AI Expo Osaka 2026 promises to be a groundbreaking event showcasing the latest advancements in AI technology. Organized by AIsmiley, one of Japan’s largest AI portal media companies, this expo aims to accelerate the implementation of AI in society and the economy.

Aisumiley, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, previously held five successful AI expos, attracting over 25,000 business professionals eager to learn about the latest AI solutions. The first Osaka event in January 2025 recorded an impressive attendance of 3,393 visitors over two days, highlighting the region's strong interest in AI adoption.

This year, the event will feature over 50 exhibiting companies showcasing more than 100 products. Attendees can look forward to an exciting lineup of more than 30 conferences presented by leading firms like SMBC and Nissin Foods, focusing on practical applications of AI in various industries.

Transitioning from Experimentation to Implementation

In recent times, the surge of generative AI technologies, including ChatGPT, has raised the stakes for businesses to integrate AI into their operations. Companies are transitioning from the experimentation phase, where they merely test technologies, to implementing these solutions to solve real-world business challenges. However, many are finding it difficult to choose the best solutions and develop the necessary expertise for implementation.

AIsmiley aims to bridge this gap by providing a platform for businesses to explore AI technologies and connect with solution providers. The upcoming AI Expo Osaka 2026 will serve as the seventh iteration of this endeavor, focused on fostering collaboration between industry leaders and businesses.
