Factory Innovation Week Osaka

Factory Innovation Week Osaka (FIW) is one of Japan’s most important trade fairs for advanced manufacturing technologies and industrial innovation. Since its inception, it has brought together the key players in industrial transformation each year at the INTEX Osaka International Exhibition Center—one of Japan’s most cutting-edge exhibition venues. With excellent connections to rail, bus, and air transport, the venue is easily accessible for both domestic and international visitors.

FIW encompasses four specialized trade shows under one roof: SMART FACTORY Expo: Digitalization and smart manufacturing, RoboDEX: Robotics and automation, GREEN FACTORY Expo: Sustainable production technologies, Manufacturing Industry HR Expo: Strategies to combat the skilled labor shortage. This unique combination makes FIW a highly specialized platform for the entire manufacturing industry—covering everything from digital transformation to energy-efficient production.

Organized by RX Japan Ltd., one of Asia’s leading trade fair organizers, FIW hosts over 800 exhibitors from industries such as mechanical engineering, automotive, electronics, robotics, logistics, and environmental technology. The range of innovations on display includes IoT-enabled manufacturing solutions, artificial intelligence, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), climate-neutral technologies, and modern HR strategies tailored for the industrial sector.

A particular highlight of the event includes live demonstrations, technology showcases, and expert presentations, offering practical knowledge transfer and fostering dialogue among industry professionals.

FIW’s main target audience consists of decision-makers, engineers, production managers, as well as HR and IT specialists from small, medium, and large manufacturing enterprises. Companies with a focus on digitalization, automation, and sustainability will find concrete solutions, new partnerships, and a valuable strategic edge.

FIW is part of a nationwide series of trade fairs also held in Tokyo and Nagoya, contributing significantly to the competitiveness of Japanese industry—both regionally in Kansai and nationwide.

Located in one of Japan’s most important industrial regions, Osaka offers not only a modern infrastructure with INTEX Osaka but also an innovation-friendly environment, with close proximity to research institutes, technology hubs, and a vibrant metropolitan area. Factory Innovation Week Osaka is more than just a trade fair—it is a place where the future of industrial manufacturing becomes tangible.

The Factory Innovation Week will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 13. May to Friday, 15. May 2026 in Osaka.
