Makuhari Messe: Year and Food Supplies

makuhari messe: These are among the array of cutting-edge technologies on display as Japan's largest electronics trade show kicked off Tuesday, according to The Japan Times. This year's annual Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies CEATEC which will run through Friday at Makuhari Messe in the city of Chiba, is seen as a touchstone for the 17-year-old trade fair. ; Undergoing a major revamp last year, what had been a showcase for consumer electronics such as TVs and washing machines had reinvented itself as a business-to-business exhibition across sectors oriented toward the internet of things concept, in which everyday items are linked by network.

This year, CEATEC has attracted 667 companies and organizations, up 2.9 percent from the 648 exhibitors last year. Some of you may wonder if CEATEC Japan has lost its momentum. Among the 327 newcomers are toymaker Bandai Namco Holdings Inc., housing equipment maker Lixil Corp. and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
