"Maker Faire" is an exhibition and presentation event for Makers who utilize new technologies and various materials with unique ideas to create things they truly desire, which cannot be mass-produced. Since its first holding in San Francisco, USA in 2006, it has expanded to over 200 cities worldwide, including the Bay Area (San Francisco), Rome, Paris, Barcelona, Taipei, and Shenzhen. Many people, from children to adults interested in manufacturing, gather at the venue to enjoy the surprising works of Makers.

Including its predecessor events, "Maker Faire Tokyo 2026" will be held for the 22nd time this year. Under the theme "Enjoy, Learn, Connect through Making," Makers from diverse fields such as robotics, mobility, electronics, and crafts will gather to exhibit their works, conduct demonstrations, and interact with participants. To enable more people to participate, this year's event will be held at Ariake GYM-EX.

We are looking for Makers who want to showcase their work, share their knowledge and experience, and interact with fellow creators, as well as sponsor companies who can support the Makers who will lead future manufacturing and help make the event a success.
