[National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Conference 2026] 63 exhibiting companies will participate! We are inviting visitors to attend.

Lifeness Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director and Group CEO: Yukihiro Maru) will host the National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Conference 2026 on Friday, March 27, 2026. The company is announcing the 63 participating companies and inviting attendees who wish to create new business ventures.

The National Knowledge Manufacturing Conference is a forum that embodies “knowledge manufacturing”—the creation of new knowledge through the combination of existing knowledge. Last year, the event was a resounding success, featuring booths from 60 companies and a variety of sessions, with approximately 500 participants in attendance. In particular, with the aim of honoring the achievements of those who have taken on the challenge of “knowledge manufacturing”—where people share passion and ambition to solve unresolved issues and generate new knowledge by combining their expertise—and who have contributed to Japan taking a step toward a new era, as well as further promoting the shift toward knowledge manufacturing by showcasing these achievements to society, “Knowledge Manufacturing Award" has been launched. This is a program that recognizes projects that have generated new knowledge and taken the first step toward new challenges, building on the foundation of the "National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Conference."

Now in its third year, the National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing 2026 event will further expand the momentum of the knowledge-based manufacturing sector across Japan, featuring 63 exhibiting companies—more than in the previous event—alongside partner companies that support the event’s mission. In addition to the “National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Grand Prize,” this year will mark the inaugural “National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Grand Prize Challenge.” This initiative aims to ensure that the new connections and discussions generated at the conference do not end as mere “ideas,” but rather lead to the next steps toward joint verification, joint development, and commercialization. Through this, we seek to foster more impactful collaborations and support initiatives aiming to win the “National Knowledge-Based Manufacturing Awards.” We are currently accepting entries, so we encourage all exhibiting companies to apply.
