Event overview

Kyoto FoodTech Expo is being held to showcase “Kyoto-style FoodTech” initiatives that integrate Kyoto’s rich food culture, ingredients, and food processing expertise with cutting-edge technologies from Japan and around the world. Through the introduction of leading domestic and international case studies, the event aims to promote the growth of food-related industries, including agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, and foster the creation of new business opportunities.

Networking Reception

Since 2023, Kyoto Prefecture has been organizing the Kyoto FoodTech Expo in conjunction with the Kyoto Smart City Expo to promote the adoption of FoodTech among agricultural, forestry, fisheries, and food-related businesses within the prefecture.
In response to strong demand for a larger exhibition scale and in light of FoodTech being positioned as a national strategic field, Kyoto Prefecture has decided to hold the event as a standalone exhibition in FY2026 in order to further accelerate initiatives in this sector.

Highlights of This Year’s Event

Launch of Collaboration with One of Japan’s Largest FoodTech Networks

Kyoto FoodTech Expo will collaborate with UnlocX Inc., the organizer of SKS JAPAN, one of Japan’s largest FoodTech events and a pioneer in the FoodTech field.
Through the extensive SKS JAPAN network, which connects a wide range of organizations from major corporations to startups, the event is expected to attract a diverse group of industry stakeholders and create new opportunities for collaboration.

International Exchange Opportunities

"Researchers in the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors from France, Spain, and Slovenia are scheduled to participate in the event, creating opportunities for international exchange and discussion.
A special talk session will also be held, featuring the latest research trends and practical initiatives from each country. The Expo will serve not only as a platform for domestic collaboration but also as a gateway to expanding international partnerships and business opportunities.
