Japan's Largest Logistics Exhibition, 'Kyushu-East Asia International Logistics Expo INNOVATION EXPO 2026,' to Be Held for the First Time, Gathering Advanced Logistics Technologies and Information

The Japan Institute of Logistics Systems (JILS, President: Tetsuji Ohashi) and the Japan Management Association (JMA, President: Masami Nakamura), along with six other logistics-related organizations, will jointly host the 'Kyushu-East Asia International Logistics Expo INNOVATION EXPO 2026' for the first time at Marine Messe Fukuoka on June 24 (Wed) and 25 (Thu), 2026, under the theme 'The Present and Future of Logistics Gather in Fukuoka.'

The 'International Comprehensive Logistics Exhibition' has previously been held in Tokyo, establishing itself as Japan's largest specialized logistics exhibition, bringing together the latest technologies and information in logistics and supply chain management.

This exhibition will gather the latest logistics equipment, systems, and information services in Fukuoka—a strategic international logistics hub and gateway to Asia. It will introduce highly implementable technologies and services tailored to address logistics challenges specific to the Kyushu region.

The event is expected to feature 145 exhibitors across 352 booths (as of June 10) and attract approximately 10,000 visitors, including those attending co-located exhibitions.

Fukuoka Mayor Soichiro Takashima is scheduled to attend the opening ceremony, deliver an opening address, and perform the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
