What is World Smart Energy Week? 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 beginning of March 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 12 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 to distribution 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 the profile of the show by an addition of a exhibition specialising in biomass power
generation which is attracting much attention from renewable and smart energy related
professionals across Japan.
