Powering the Future at SMART ENERGY WEEK
The global energy sector is racing toward a sustainable future, and events like SMART ENERGY WEEK are at the forefront of this transformative journey.
As one of the most influential gatherings in the energy industry, SMART ENERGY WEEK returns to Tokyo Big Sight from February 19–21, 2025, promising to showcase cutting-edge innovations and bring together the brightest minds in the field. This year’s event aims to shine even brighter following the success of its November show in Osaka.
SMART ENERGY WEEK
SMART ENERGY WEEK is not just an exhibition; it’s a dynamic platform that unites global leaders, innovators, and stakeholders in the energy sector. Organised by RX Japan Ltd., this three-day event focuses on advancing renewable energy technologies to help the world achieve ambitious carbon neutrality goals by 2050.
From solar power to hydrogen fuel cells and from smart grids to biomass energy, SMART ENERGY WEEK spans a vast array of sustainable energy solutions. With over 1,600 exhibitors, 72,000 visitors, and 200+ speakers expected to attend across an expansive 83,060-square-metre venue, it’s clear that this event is a heavyweight in the industry.
The event features a mix of exhibitions, live demonstrations, and conferences designed to address the challenges of a rapidly evolving energy landscape. By offering attendees an opportunity to network, source innovative solutions, and learn from industry pioneers, SMART ENERGY WEEK is setting the stage for a greener tomorrow.
The Seven Show Areas
SMART ENERGY WEEK February 2025 is divided into seven specialised zones, each targeting a specific facet of the energy ecosystem.
- H2 & FC Expo: As the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, the H2 & FC Expo is a must-visit. It features advancements in hydrogen production, transportation, storage, and applications, highlighting its potential as a key player in the clean energy revolution.
- PV Expo: Focusing on photovoltaic (PV) technology, the PV Expo showcases the latest in solar power innovations. From state-of-the-art solar cells to solutions for constructing and maintaining solar power plants, this area is a hub for everything solar energy.
- Battery Japan: For those in the electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage sectors, Battery Japan offers an unparalleled range of rechargeable batteries, components, and materials. It highlights advancements from development to production, cementing its role as a leader in renewable energy storage solutions.
- Smart Grid Expo: The Smart Grid Expo covers IT-driven solutions for efficient power distribution and management. Visitors can explore technologies related to virtual power plants (VPP), demand response (DR), energy management systems, and EV integration.
- Wind Expo: Dedicated to wind power, this zone showcases technologies for wind turbine design, offshore wind solutions, and maintenance innovations. As wind energy continues to grow in importance, the Wind Expo offers a glimpse into the future of this renewable resource.
- Biomass Expo: Biomass Expo focuses on energy derived from organic materials. It features biomass fuels, power generation systems, and heat utilisation technologies that are crucial for sustainable energy diversification.
- Zero-E Thermal Expo: This specialised area highlights zero-emission thermal power generation technologies. From hydrogen and ammonia utilisation to advanced plant equipment, the Zero-E Thermal Expo is pivotal for organisations seeking to transition to greener energy production.
Free Registration and Exclusive Perks
One of the best aspects of SMART ENERGY WEEK is its accessibility. Registration is free and grants visitors access to all seven specialised zones as well as two concurrent events: the Decarbonisation Expo and the Circular Economy Expo.
The Decarbonisation Expo delves into strategies and technologies for reducing carbon emissions across industries, while the Circular Economy Expo focuses on sustainable business models aimed at achieving carbon neutrality. Together, these events provide a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities in sustainability.
In addition to exploring the exhibitions, attendees can participate in conference sessions led by industry experts. Last year’s event featured renowned speakers such as Shuichi Togasawa, Chief Engineer at Honda R&D Co., Ltd., and Shinji Taira, Managing Director and Partner at Boston Consulting Group.
Networking opportunities abound as well, with major players like Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi Electric, and JERA supporting and participating in the event. This is a chance to rub shoulders with top-tier industry professionals and exchange ideas that could shape the future of energy.
