Factory Innovation Week Nagoya

Factory Innovation Week Nagoya (FIW) is an annual trade fair that has established itself as a key platform for advanced manufacturing technologies. Under the FIW umbrella, several thematically focused exhibitions are brought together to showcase the latest developments in innovation, efficiency, and sustainability across the industrial sector. Organized by RX Japan Ltd., one of Asia’s leading trade show organizers, the event takes place each autumn at Portmesse Nagoya, a modern exhibition center located in the heart of the city of Nagoya—one of Japan’s most important industrial hubs and home to numerous global technology companies.

FIW is tailored specifically to professionals from the fields of manufacturing, automation, IT, logistics, energy and environmental technology, as well as industrial human resources. Its five tightly integrated exhibitions cover a wide range of industrial innovations. SMART FACTORY Expo highlights digital transformation, IoT, and artificial intelligence in manufacturing. RoboDEX features the latest advancements in industrial robots, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). GREEN FACTORY Expo focuses on technologies that support carbon neutrality and energy efficiency. The Manufacturing Industry’s HR Expo addresses solutions for recruitment, training, and workforce management. Rounding out the offering is the Factory Safety and Accessibility Expo, which concentrates on safe, ergonomic, and efficient working environments.

More than just a showcase for specialized products and solutions, FIW serves as a central meeting point for industry experts and decision-makers from Japan, across Asia, and beyond. As part of the broader Factory Innovation Week series—also held in Tokyo and Osaka—the event reinforces Nagoya’s position as a strategic hub for Industry 4.0 in the Asia-Pacific region.

A particular strength of the event lies in its hands-on product demonstrations and targeted networking opportunities. Exhibitors represent key industries such as mechanical engineering, electronics, automotive, IT, robotics, logistics, and environmental technology. The audience is made up primarily of production managers, engineers, factory planners, procurement specialists, and executives seeking innovative solutions to enhance their manufacturing processes.

Thanks to its convenient location—easily accessible from downtown Nagoya and Chubu Centrair International Airport—Portmesse Nagoya offers optimal conditions for establishing and strengthening international business relationships in one of Japan’s most dynamic industrial regions. Factory Innovation Week Nagoya is thus far more than a conventional trade fair: it is a strategic catalyst for shaping the future of manufacturing.

The Factory Innovation Week will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 29. October to Friday, 31. October 2025 in Nagoya.
