Concept & Agenda World Smart Energy Week is the world’s leading comprehensive B-to-B trade show for smart & renewable energy held twice a year in Japan. (At the end of February in Tokyo and beginning of September in Osaka) The show aims to provide a platform for professionals from across Japan, Asia and the world to negotiate, share ideas and network for the future of renewable and smart energy business.
Since the launch 11 years ago with FC EXPO, the show has continued to grow and now consists of 9 exhibitions and a world-class conference filling up Tokyo Big Sight – the largest exhibition centre of the country. Through the exhibition and conference, the business covered by the show ranges from power generation, storage, saving, transmission, distribution, to complementing processing technologies. As well as strengthening business within individual sectors, professionals will be able to work on building connections with professionals from different and related areas of renewable and smart energy by participating in the show. To keep up with the changing conditions of the industry, this year the show further expanded its scale and stepped into the field of electricity retailing in preparation for the liberalisation of the electricity retail market which is to commence in Japan in 2016.

To realize this, government deregulations and private sectors’ activities are both essential. We are hopeful that World Smart Energy Week will do much on this course. I promise that I will spare no effort in accelerating energy saving and promoting renewable energy in Japan. I wish you all the best of success.
Opening speech:
