This segment serves as a unique gateway to showcase innovation, attract investment, and enter the Japanese market while expanding global visibility.
The Japan Tech Forum at BEYOND Expo 2025 is not only a high-level exchange and collaboration platform for Chinese and Japanese tech companies, research institutions, and investors—it is also a “connector” for both countries’ tech ecosystems. Here, breakthroughs will be translated into commercial value, fueling cross-border cooperation and the inclusive benefits of technology.
