PharmaLab Expo Tokyo

PharmaLab Expo is a specialized trade fair that has established itself as a central platform for research and development in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The name – short for Pharmaceutical Laboratory – emphasizes the event’s clear focus: promoting innovative laboratory solutions and technological advancements that enable the development of new drugs, therapies, and biotechnological processes.

Originally known as BIOtech Japan, the fair takes place every summer at Tokyo Big Sight – one of Japan’s most modern convention centers, with excellent access to public transportation.

The event is organized by RX Japan Ltd., one of the country’s leading trade show organizers, renowned for high-quality events with strong professional depth. As part of INTERPHEX Week Tokyo, PharmaLab Expo serves as a key meeting point for experts in pharmaceutical development. Alongside concurrent exhibitions such as INTERPHEX JAPAN, in-PHARMA JAPAN, and the BioPharma Expo, it forms a tightly integrated trade fair environment that represents the entire pharmaceutical value chain – from active ingredients to production technologies.

At the heart of the exhibition are current developments in drug research, biopharmaceutical innovation, analytics, formulation, process optimization, and the growing use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies in pharmaceutical research. Sustainability and regulatory compliance are also given special attention. In addition to technological innovations, modern services for quality control, drug delivery, and laboratory technology are showcased.

The event targets a qualified professional audience – including scientists, representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, biotech start-ups, investors, suppliers, and experts from the medical technology sector. International companies present their latest products, digital solutions, and scalable manufacturing processes.

As an internationally oriented industry event, PharmaLab Expo is closely linked to Japan’s innovation landscape and reflects Tokyo’s role as a global technology hub. Expert lectures, panel discussions, and targeted networking formats promote knowledge exchange and create opportunities for new business relationships.

Tokyo Big Sight provides the ideal infrastructure – modern, well-equipped, and easily accessible. Located in the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic metropolises, the venue offers an inspiring setting for all those looking to experience innovation at the highest level.

The PharmaLab Expo will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 09. July to Friday, 11. July 2025 in Tokyo.
