One of Western Japan's Largest: Latest Technologies in Electronic Components, Materials, Manufacturing Equipment, and Power Devices Gather in One Place - "Kansai NEPCON JAPAN" to be Held for 3 Days from May 13 (Wed) to 15 (Fri), 2026

RX Japan LLC (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Executive Officer: Takeshi Tanaka) will hold the "2nd Kansai NEPCON JAPAN," an exhibition gathering the latest technologies in electronics, semiconductors, electronic components, manufacturing equipment, and mounting technology, for three days from May 13 (Wed) to 15 (Fri), 2026, at Intex Osaka. This exhibition will be held as a place to encounter practical solutions covering everything from design and development to manufacturing, mounting, and inspection, in response to challenges such as higher performance, power saving, and improved production efficiency surrounding the electronic equipment and semiconductor industries.

[Background of the Event | Why Kansai NEPCON JAPAN Now?] The Kansai region is an industrial cluster of manufacturing industries that have long supported Japanese monozukuri (manufacturing). Manufacturing industries in fields closely related to the electronic equipment and semiconductor industries, such as electronic components, electronic devices, precision instruments, machinery, and materials, are widely clustered, centering on Osaka, Hyogo, Kyoto, and Shiga. According to government statistics and surveys by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Kinki region is one of the areas with the largest number of business establishments and employees in the manufacturing industry nationwide, indicating the formation of a deep industrial base in fields such as electronic components/devices/electronic circuits, electrical machinery and equipment, and precision instruments. *1 On the other hand, in the Kansai area, where there are many such manufacturing workers, large-scale specialized exhibitions dealing cross-sectionally with semiconductors, electronic components, and mounting technologies have been limited. Under these circumstances, as many companies seek opportunities to gather information on the latest technologies, materials, and equipment and solve problems, RX Japan will hold "Kansai NEPCON JAPAN" as a "place where the manufacturing industry in Kansai can encounter cutting-edge electronics technology in Kansai." At this exhibition, technologies related to electronics manufacturing, such as electronic components/materials, semiconductor-related technologies, and mounting/manufacturing/inspection equipment, will be consolidated in one place. It will provide an environment where manufacturing workers in Kansai can encounter information that leads to the solution of specific issues while reducing the burden of travel. "Kansai NEPCON JAPAN" aims to be more than just an exhibition, but a "hub of technology and people" for the manufacturing industry in Kansai to advance to the next stage of growth.
