Cyprus participated in the BioJapan 2026 and CEATEC 2026 exhibitions, held in Japan in October, the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry has reported.
The participation was organised in cooperation with the Embassy of Cyprus in Tokyo, with an information booth as part of the joint European Team Europe pavilion, the Ministry said in a press release.
Specifically, Cyprus took part in BioJapan 2026, held in Yokohama from 7 to 9 October 2026.
“BioJapan is Asia’s leading networking and business partnership event in the biotechnology sector, and the longest-running international exhibition dedicated exclusively to the biotechnology industry,” the announcement said.
“Biotechnology applications now extend beyond pharmaceuticals, personalised medicine and diagnostic tools, covering sectors such as manufacturing, energy, functional foods and other rapidly developing areas of the economy,” it added.
Cyprus also participated in CEATEC 2026, which took place in Chiba from 13 to 16 October 2026.
CEATEC is considered “one of the most important international exhibitions for digital and technological innovation, bringing together companies, organisations and stakeholders from a wide range of industrial and economic sectors, with the aim of forging new partnerships and developing innovative solutions”, the announcement noted.
“Cyprus’ participation in the two exhibitions forms part of the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to promote Cypriot innovation, strengthen the international outreach of Cypriot businesses and develop partnerships with international partners in the fields of high technology, research and development,” the Ministry said.
Through its presence at these major events, Cyprus showcases its competitive advantages as an emerging regional hub for technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, while also enhancing prospects for attracting investment and developing new business partnerships with companies from Japan and other countries, it adds.
