Medtec Japan (Medtec Japan, organized by Informa Markets Japan Co., Ltd.), the only exhibition and seminar in Japan specializing in the manufacturing and design of medical devices, was held for three days from Tuesday, April 21 to Thursday, April 23, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight East Hall 7.
This 17th edition saw 395 companies and organizations exhibiting, including 54 overseas companies. The number of visitors exceeded 15,300, mainly comprising development and research personnel from domestic and international medical device and welfare equipment manufacturers, and personnel from research institutions and universities.

■ 395 domestic and international companies and organizations, including medical device manufacturers, exhibited, showcasing their excellent technologies and products.
This 17th edition welcomed 15,385 visitors over three days, primarily industry professionals. In addition to the 395 exhibiting companies and organizations, the venue also featured special exhibits and demonstrations such as the vehicle-type mobile treatment unit "Mobile SCOT®" and the disaster medical support air tent "Negative/Positive Pressure Type: NP-45." Seminars on medical device industry growth strategies and the latest trends in domestic and international regulations, along with the Medtec Innovation Awards ceremony, were also held, bringing the event to a successful close.
The government places importance on developing Japan's proud "monozukuri" (craftsmanship) technology into the medical device field. Various support initiatives are underway to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) accurately grasp challenges in medical settings and connect them to the development of technologies and products that solve these issues. The medical device market is expected to see high anticipation for new entries from SMEs with such technical capabilities and from other industries, and significant growth is projected due to social factors such as an aging population. We hope that this event will contribute to the further development of Japan's medical device industry.
