For exhibitors

Five reasons to exhibit

The value of exhibiting at HuRoC EXPO is not "visitor numbers" but "the quality of who you meet" and "what continues afterward." We design pathways before and after the event, not just for the day itself

  • 01 Decision-makers

    Meet the decision-makers driving humanoid social implementation

    R&D and executive leaders from manufacturing, research institutions, local government, startups, and VCs gather in Ota City

  • 02 Narrative

    Speak within the context of "humans and robots coexisting"

    Not an industrial trade show, but a co-creation media platform that spans daily life, society, and industry

  • 03 Stage

    Broadcast live on the day through stage and panel sessions

    Keynotes, special lectures, and panels share the same venue as the booths

  • 04 Media

    Amplify your booth before and after with HuRoC Media

    Exhibitor feature articles and a social media package linked to media.huroc.org

  • 05 Network

    Match directly with the Ota City manufacturing network

    In Ota City, one of Japan’s leading clusters of small factories, search for prototyping and mass-production partners end to end

For visitors

What can visitors take home?

Not an event just to look at, but an entry point for co-creation. Admission is free, with pre-registration

  • See

    See, in real machines, the eve of humanoid mass production

    Real-machine displays on the level of Figure, Tesla Optimus, 1X, and domestic ventures stand on the same floor as the craftsmanship of Ota City’s small factories

  • Hear

    Keynotes, special lectures, and panels

    Experts in AM engineering, robotics, social implementation, and standards organizations. A program designed to grasp the "big picture" in a single day

  • Meet

    Find partners for business, recruiting, and joint validation

    From research institutions and local governments to shopping streets, logistics, and vacant-house owners — the stakeholders of social implementation come together
