Automotive trade show Forumnext Forum Tokyo 2024 concluded with 1,103 visitors and 56 exhibitors attending. Two days of information exchange occurred between 26-27 September at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center HAMAMATSUCHO-KAN.
Forumnext is Japan’s leading automotive trade event. 2024 was the fifth edition of the event, offering 21 seminars on topics ranging from ‘Communication activation and co-creation through manufacturing’ to ‘Trends in the materials industry and the diffusion of AM Technology’.
Among the attendees was Honda R&D Co. staff engineer Fukutaro Adachi. He commented: “I was able to hear first-hand accounts from people actually involved in product development and gain information that will be useful for my future work.”
Participants hailed from four countries – China, France, Japan and Korea.
“We believe the Japanese AM market has huge potential to expand our business; therefore, it is important to have an opportunity to introduce our products to the market. On just the first day, we were able to exchange our business cards with over 50 companies,” said Akiko Orimo, section leader of Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, a first-time exhibitor at the show.
The next edition of Formnext Forum Tokyo will be held from 25-26 September 2025.
