Introduction to TECHNO-FRONTIER 2026

The Japan Management Association (JMA) is excited to announce the upcoming expert exhibition, TECHNO-FRONTIER 2026, which will be held from July 15 to 17, 2026, at the Tokyo Big Sight West Exhibition Hall. This event aims to present a comprehensive view of the technological elements underpinning industrial equipment alongside the data-driven optimization foundations for factories, representing a significant step towards digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing sector.

Exhibition Overview

TECHNO-FRONTIER 2026 is not just an exhibition; it's a combination of various specialized trade shows focusing on key technologies such as motors, power supplies, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), control systems, thermal design, and component design and processing. It emphasizes the integration of these technologies with advanced data connectivity, digital twin technology, AI, and network solutions to visualize and optimize the entire manufacturing process.

This exhibition serves as a platform to effectively communicate to visitors how their technologies function within the larger context of factory operations, helping to facilitate informed decision-making for further advancements in industrial processes. The JMA brings together its 40 years of expertise in elemental technology with a strong visitor base, merging it with next-generation platforms focused on data integration, DX, and AI.

New Highlighted Sections

To elevate DX in manufacturing to the next level, five exciting new sections will be introduced:
1. Industrial Data Collaboration and Digital Twin Promotion
2. Generative AI in Manufacturing
3. OT Security for Factories
4. Connected Private 5G Solutions
5. Technologies and Solutions for Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs)

Among these, the Generative AI in Manufacturing section promises to be particularly engaging. It will cover a wide range of applications, from simple chatbot implementations and report generation to sophisticated planning optimization and equipment collaboration, showcasing comprehensive AI utilization across factory operations.

Engaging Displays

Once again, the exhibition will feature an engaging display that dissects overseas electric vehicles (EVs), providing attendees with a hands-on experience to appreciate the historical evolution of technology. Participants will have the opportunity to physically handle components while engaging with explanatory panels detailing the technological advancements from past to present.
