Exhibition Theme
Ever since its beginning in 2000, CEATEC JAPAN has been highlighting the cutting-edge achievements in IT and electronics technologies, and presenting the "NEXT" products, services and content based on these cutting-edge
technologies, aimed at the lifestyles, industries and societies of tomorrow. Now, moving towards a new "NEXT," what is needed is energy and technologies that will "Make the Future".
As IT and electronics transcend the boundaries between a wide range of fields and industries, acting as a driving force underpinning the birth of a new "NEXT", Japan is further invigorating its innovation capabilities and offering
proposals for even richer lifestyles of tomorrow to fulfill the dreams and hopes of future societies, thus leading to future business opportunities.
Under the theme "NEXT — Technology Makes the Future." CEATEC JAPAN 2014 will present the new "NEXT" bringing together innovation capabilities in spirit of competition, and present a comprehensive exhibition of these
technologies materialized as businesses.

In today's world, ICT is an infrastructure required not only for social and economic activity, but has also become deeply infused into many aspects of people's lives as an infrastructure that underpins a host of human activities. Against this backdrop, CEATEC JAPAN, as an exhibition presented by the ICT industry coming together under one roof, not only presents new technologies and new products throughout the Japanese market, but also showcases the high level of technological capabilities from across Japan to the global market, and is thus an important event that brings about communications between specialists and engineers. Having jurisdiction over ICT, the Ministry for Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) anticipates that CEATEC JAPAN will present new technologies, products and services, which will become the basis of achieving ICT environments at the global top-level, bearing fruit through the creation of new business. Furthermore, MIC will fully support the event by presenting the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award as part of the CEATEC AWARDS. We look forward to a grand exhibition made possible through the support of a wide range of businesses and organizations.
The IT and electronics industries are not only responsible for electronic appliances such as smartphones, televisions and personal computers, but also are a driving force in innovation in a wide range of fields covering lifestyles and industries such as the automotive, health care, infrastructure, energy and agricultural industries. Many innovators and early adapters who are interested in cutting-edge technologies and products come to CEATEC JAPAN to see the results of these diverse innovations. CEATEC JAPAN becomes a platform to gather consumers and businesses who are creating an innovative future, and a venue where new business materializes from a wide variety of exchanges and interactions. Backing up the creation of such a forum, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) gives its full support to CEATEC JAPAN by awarding the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award to excellent products and services as part of the CEATEC AWARDS. We look forward to your participation as partners in creating an innovative future.
