JASIS stands for “Japan Analytical & Scientific Instruments Show”, the exhibition specialized inanalytical and scientific instruments, co-hosted by the Japan Analytical Instruments
Manufacturers’ Association and the Japan Scientific Instruments Association. Every year it iscomprised of many exhibitors including domestic and overseas leading manufacturers in thisfield. Total visitors exceed 20,000 each year, and it is one of the largest exhibition in Asia in thisfield. Whether from the manufacturing or sales industries in this field, this exhibition is highly
regarded among exhibitors as indispensable for discovering new customers, developing saleschannels and business matching to connect users and providers with optimal solutions.
The main features and advantages of exhibiting at JASIS include the following:
1. Over 70% of visitors are users of analytical and scientific instruments, and either havepurchase decision authority for equipment, or are in the position to make recommendations
on the purchase decision.
2. There are roughly 500 seminars, conferences and lectures conducted, targeting various
industry sectors and occupations, so visitors represent a broad spectrum.
3. Through constantly incorporating new projects, a large number of visitors seeking to gather
the latest information are attracted, making it easy for exhibitors to grasp the latest
customer needs.
[JASIS 2018 Special Projects]
With the following two special projects, JASIS 2018 is targeting a scale of total visitors over
30,000, 500 exhibitor institutions, and 1,500 booths.
1) Open Solutions Forum
Started in 2016, a total of 1,619 were in attendance in 2017, double the number of persons in
the previous year. The concept of “Development of ingredients / raw materials and quality
control supports Japan’s manufacturing competitiveness” will be continued in 2018, and therespective themes over the 3 days have been decided as “Regulations on Phthalates”,“Fragrance and Odor” and “Next-generation Batteries”. Programs are being organized that willallow introduction of a wider range of applications, based mainly in the environment, foodproducts and automobiles. In order to allow for larger attendance, a special theatre is being
established within the JASIS Exhibition Hall for 200 persons, exceeding 2017. Combining keynote
presentations by prominent lecturers with announcements by exhibitors, this project isdesigned to allow effective approaches to new and valued customers.
2) Life Sciences Innovation Zone
2018 will be the sixth year for this project in the field of life science, and a total of over 10,000
participated in 2017. This time, under the theme “The Role of Analytical Instruments andAdvanced Biopharmaceuticals/Healthcare”, in a specially established zone within the JASIS
Exhibition Hall, many keynote presentations focused on new technologies required in thesefields are being organized, aiming to attract visitors. Also, preparations such as exhibition space,presentation halls, business negotiation lounges etc., are being made with the aim of making
this a base for disseminating technology information leading the life sciences market forenterprises and institutions. Picking up on the potential for advanced analytical instruments to“make life into science”, in a society seeing accelerated evolution through ICT, we will provide
topics aiming at business opportunities generated from open innovation, and making “Japan asNo.1”.
