Announcing the Delicious Japan Delivery Team SUMMIT 2026 to Globalize Japanese Cuisine
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan has officially announced the upcoming Delicious Japan Delivery Team SUMMIT 2026, which is aimed at promoting Japanese culinary delights worldwide. This significant event is set to take place on February 13, 2026, at Incubation CANVAS TOKYO in Chuo City, Tokyo. The summit reflects a collaborative venture involving producers, companies, specialized personnel, and local governments, bringing together diverse stakeholders interested in food exports.
This year’s theme, "Food Exports x Co-Creation Across New Fields," will delve into how noteworthy sectors such as technology, media branding, and culture can converge to stimulate networking, pitch presentations, and exhibitions. The summit aims to create valuable connections that lead to tangible actions for advancing Japan’s food exports.
- Individuals and companies interested in future export and international expansion
- Enthusiasts in the intersection of food, technology, media branding, and culture
The summit's primary goal is to foster collaboration and co-creation between producers, companies, specialized personnel, and even players from previously uninvolved fields. Participants will seek to explore how to leverage co-creation in the context of food exports and new sectors. Rather than merely sharing export practices, the summit encourages discussions around utilizing technology, harnessing branding and media power, and reinterpreting food culture and local resources to find innovative pathways for delivering Japan's culinary heritage to a global audience.
Participating companies will present short pitches of 3 minutes each, categorized into three divisions to communicate the potential possibilities for food exports from their unique perspectives.
Exhibitors will set up booths to present products and services as well as share insights about their processes and support structures. This hands-on experience promotes dialogues that could lead to fruitful collaborations and projects.
A dedicated networking session will allow presenters, exhibitors, and attendees to mingle freely, providing a platform for cross-industry discussions and the formation of new partnerships and co-creation initiatives.
