EU Business Hub @ Semicon Japan 2026

The EU Business Hub @ Semicon Japan 2026 will select up to 50 European SMEs and start-ups to visit Japan to kick-start their internationalisation journey in the semiconductor sector. Selected companies will exhibit at Semicon Japan, a major international exhibition focused on the semiconductor industry, held annually in Tokyo and attracting more than 103 000 visitors. The EU Business Hub will provide the EU Pavilion at the exhibition — a valuable platform for companies to showcase their products and services, offer demonstrations, engage in networking, and customer acquisition.

This business mission will take place from 7 to 11 December 2026 and will provide an excellent opportunity for networking and connecting with potential Japanese business partners and industry leaders. Many Japanese corporations send representatives and exhibit at Semicon Japan. At the EU Pavilion, a dedicated team of business coaching staff and professional interpreters will be available to promote European companies’ products and technologies and assure maximum exposure to exhibition visitors. A networking event during the mission will enhance opportunities to connect with potential business partners and clients.

Target audience

European SMEs and start-ups involved in the semiconductor sector — across all parts of the value chain, including design, products and services, front-end and back-end equipment (e.g., connectors, pumps, cables, sensors, etc.), manufacturing and inspection equipment, metal processing, cutting and plating, and surface treatment.
