About this expo
BioJapan stands as Asia's premier and largest bio-industry partnering event, celebrating 40 years of connections. It integrates an exhibition, seminars, and a robust partnering program, specifically designed to foster connections between Japanese pharmaceutical companies and international stakeholders across biotechnology, life sciences, and healthtech. The event is co-located with Regenerative Medicine JAPAN, established in 2016, and health TECH JAPAN, launched in 2020, forming a comprehensive platform for the sector.
The exhibition features a wide array of core sectors, including Pharma/Biotech, Regenerative Medicine, Healthtech, R&D technology/Service/Solution, Agriculture/Forestry/Fisheries/Animal Health, Bio economy/Bio manufacturing, and Professional Services/Support. Exhibitors gain access to a significant audience, with over 22,000 attendees (based on 2024 data), including R&D and Business Development Professionals. A proprietary partnering system allows exhibitors to engage with target companies up to three months prior to the event, facilitating pre-scheduled meetings and supporting diverse business objectives from customer acquisition to industry presence.
The target audience primarily consists of R&D and Business Development Professionals, alongside representatives from pharmaceutical companies, academia, startups, research institutions, government agencies, and municipalities. These highly engaged participants attend to explore opportunities for in- and out-licensing, as well as collaboration. Concurrent events further enrich the experience, including Regenerative Medicine JAPAN, health TECH JAPAN, and the Japan Healthcare Venture Summit (JHVS 2026).
