Every year is been created new technical and technological innovations to increase our quality products or to accelerate our production process. We can find some shows to know all the novelties of our sector, but rarely we can find an event where find all the agents involved in the fabrication chain.

So, NEPCON Japan it's one of them. Internationally well-known, this is a trade show for electronics manufacturing and R&D, comprised of 6 exhibitions & conferences specialised in different areas. This year the fair returns on January 2017, and Neventum's team was talking to them to discover all the novelties of this edition.

NEPCON Japan is an international platform for the electronics, packaging and production industry, what do you think that stands out from other similar shows?

And on the same line, what can you highlight from the next edition? What is going to be the novelties? Do you have any brand or product star in this edition?

Highlights must be 2 new concurrent shows. These are 1st RoboDEX and 1st SMART FACTORY Expo. Both are launched in response to the strong request from the industry.

The show attracts exhibitors from many segments of the chain of production, can you give some tips for those exhibiting for the first time, not just in NEPCON but in Tokyo?

We keep telling new exhibitors some tips. Those are;

• Japanese are shy. So exhibitors should talk to them and avoid sitting in the booth or chatting with colleagues.
• The overseas exhibitor should prepare translators Japanese signboards at the booth if they can.
