History of CEATEC

The origins of CEATEC can be traced back to the Japan Electronics Industry Exhibition, which started in 1962. This show was composed of four sectors: TVs, radios, and other audio equipment; radio communications equipment, including electronic application equipment; measuring instruments; and electronic components. 207 companies participated in the exhibition, which attracted approximately 150,000 visitors during its 10-day duration. The characteristics of the show as a "comprehensive exhibition" that exhibited a very wide range of themes from parts to finished products have been passed down to the present day. The name was changed to "Electronics Show" from the third year of the show in 1964, and the 25th Electronics Show in 1986 was particularly successful, attracting 443,500 visitors, a record for the most in history. In 2000, the Electronics Show was merged with COM JAPAN, which was an information and communications exhibition, to form CEATEC JAPAN. CEATEC JAPAN began its new history as a "composite" exhibition that encompassed all aspects of imaging, information, communications, and digital networking under the slogan of "to enrich society and life with technology“. In 2007, the exhibition attracted 200,000 visitors and established a firm position as a "comprehensive exhibition of cutting-edge IT and electronics". In 2016, the exhibition steered towards the "CPS/IoT Exhibition" and became an exhibition that aims to realize "Society 5.0" by bringing together everything from electronic components and devices that form the backbone of the IoT to finished products, devices that are implemented, and various services that utilize these components and devices. Today, CEATEC is one of Japan's leading exhibitions that attracts a great deal of attention as a place where key players from Japan and abroad gather under one roof.
