■ What is Assist Suit EXPO?
The Assist Suit Association engages in various activities to raise awareness and promote assist suits, which reduce physical burden during work. Starting with the "Assist Suit Summit" held in Daikanyama, Tokyo in January 2023, we have provided venues for comparing and experiencing products from various manufacturers through "Assist Suit EXPO" exhibitions specializing in "experience" and "on-site experiential sessions" held nationwide. To date, "Assist Suit EXPO" has been held in Fukuoka in May 2024, Nagoya in January 2025, and Osaka in November 2025, with attendees primarily from manufacturing and logistics industries.

■ Assist Suits and the Assist Suit Association
An assist suit refers to a device, whether electric or non-electric, developed not for power-up to exert more force than usual, but for the purpose of reducing the burden on the human body, including physical strain during movement/static states and environmental factors such as heat/cold. It can reduce physical burden in workplaces requiring manual labor across various industries such as logistics, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, fishing, medical, and nursing. With the severe social issues of labor shortages and an aging population becoming apparent, the assist suit market is expected to expand as a means to alleviate fatigue, improve employee satisfaction, prevent turnover, and support employment for the elderly and women.
At this event, in addition to product fitting and experiential sessions by various assist suit manufacturers, there will be lectures on risk assessment useful for workplace improvement and implementation measures including assist suits.
