Photonix Osaka

Photonix – International Laser & Photonics Expo is one of the most significant trade fairs for photonics in Asia and serves as a central meeting point for professionals from the fields of light, laser, and optical technologies. The name “Photonix” symbolically combines the fundamental particles of light – photons – with cutting-edge technology, highlighting the event’s focus on forward-looking applications in photonics.

Held annually at the renowned INTEX Osaka International Exhibition Center, the expo benefits from one of Japan’s most modern and expansive exhibition venues, providing an ideal setting for international exhibitors and industry professionals.

Organized by RX Japan Ltd., a leading trade fair organizer with extensive experience in specialized industry events, Photonix is more than a presentation platform — it is a highly specialized marketplace for exchange among developers, engineers, decision-makers, and researchers from a wide range of industries, including optoelectronics, laser technology, medical technology, communications, sensing, automotive engineering, and manufacturing.

The exhibition centers on three core themes: laser processing, optical components and materials, and optical measurement and analysis. The range of showcased technologies spans from high-precision laser processing systems and advanced optical sensors to powerful measurement solutions such as spectrometers, interferometers, and imaging systems. Exhibitors present the latest innovations for applications including 3D laser processing, micro-welding, optical diagnostics, and semiconductor structure inspection – many as world premieres.

A standout feature of Photonix is its integration into Materials Week, a trade show alliance focused on materials technology. This thematic expansion fosters additional synergies and broadens the scope of innovation. In addition to Osaka, further editions of Photonix are held annually at Makuhari Messe near Tokyo and at Port Messe Nagoya, establishing the expo as a nationwide network of excellence for photonics in Japan.

The event serves not only as a platform for technology transfer but also as a forum for international exchange, offering expert lectures, live demonstrations, and networking formats that actively promote collaboration and business development.

As a gateway to Japan’s photonics industry, Photonix is highly relevant both for companies seeking to expand into the Asian market and for professionals looking to stay current with the latest technological advancements. The host city, Osaka — Japan’s third-largest city — is easily accessible via Kansai International Airport and a well-developed transportation network. Located in the heart of the Bay Area District, INTEX Osaka is surrounded by numerous hotels and event facilities, making it an ideal venue both logistically and atmospherically for business interactions and technological progress.

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