The Government of Ontario is organizing an ICT Export Business Mission to CEATEC 2025 in Tokyo. Internationally regarded as the comprehensive exhibition of "Society 5.0", CEATEC is one of the largest technology events in Japan covering a wide range of industries and sectors related to Society 5.0. The trade show features the latest products, services and technologies in AI, automation, medical care, transportation and logistics, smart manufacturing and industrial IoT, smart farming, as well as other fields of Information and Communication Technologies, which match Ontario’s capabilities. CEATEC 2024, the latest in-person exhibition, attracted 684 exhibitors (including 195 overseas exhibitors) and received 89,047 visitors during the four-day event. 

Joining the Ontario mission to CEATEC with an optional outreach program in Korea represents an excellent opportunity for innovative Ontario companies with ICT technologies or services to develop business in Japan and Korea. The event provides a unique platform and unrivaled visibility to access potential clients and partners from these two key East Asian markets.
