FILMTECH Japan Chiba

FILMTECH Japan – Highly-Functional Film Expo – is the world’s leading trade fair for advanced functional films and related cutting-edge technologies. As a key industry platform, it brings together innovative companies and professionals from the film and materials sector each year at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, a modern exhibition center located just outside Tokyo. The event is organized by RX Japan Ltd., one of Asia’s largest and most respected trade show organizers, renowned for hosting high-quality, expertly curated business events.

More than just a conventional industry fair, FILMTECH Japan offers a highly focused overview of the entire value chain of functional films – from raw materials and processing technologies to specialized end-use applications. The exhibition showcases the latest advancements in fields such as optically active and conductive materials, CO₂-reducing technologies, and high-precision coating and lamination processes. A particular emphasis is placed on innovations in sustainable materials, fine mechanical processing, and industrial analytics – always with a clear focus on technological progress and environmental responsibility.

In an era where functional films are considered a key enabling technology across many industries, FILMTECH Japan serves as a central meeting point for experts from electronics, semiconductor manufacturing, automotive engineering, medical technology, construction, and food and pharmaceutical packaging. Whether it's anti-reflective films for displays, anisotropic conductive materials for electronic components, or high-barrier films for packaging, attendees gain practical insights into current trends and emerging technologies.

Attracting not only domestic professionals, the trade fair is also a major international hub for developers, engineers, buyers, and decision-makers. A diverse supporting program of expert presentations, panel discussions, and networking events fosters exchange between research, industry, and the marketplace.

One of FILMTECH Japan’s distinguishing features is its multi-regional presence: In addition to the main event in Chiba, the exhibition is also held annually at INTEX Osaka and Port Messe Nagoya. This ensures strong regional outreach across three of Japan’s most economically dynamic areas, providing optimal access for industrial clusters in both the eastern and western parts of the country.

The primary venue, Makuhari Messe, impresses with its modern infrastructure and excellent accessibility – just a short train ride from central Tokyo. Located in one of Asia’s most economically significant regions, the venue underscores the international importance of the event, making FILMTECH Japan an essential destination for anyone shaping the future of functional film technologies.

The FILMTECH Japan takes place annually, and therefore for the fifteenth time previsibly in November 2026 in Chiba.
