Representatives from semiconductor equipment manufacturers visited SEMICON JAPAN 2025.
SEMICON JAPAN 2025, “AI × Sustainability × Semiconductors,” was held at Tokyo Big Sight over three days from December 17 to 19, 2025. A total of 10 representatives from 7 Taiwanese semiconductor equipment manufacturers. They visited Japan to attend the exhibition, and Mitsubishi Electric Taiwan Automation, along with our staff, provided guided tours of the exhibition.
SEMICON JAPAN 2025 is an international exhibition for electronics manufacturing that covers manufacturing technologies, equipment, and materials for the semiconductor industry, as well as smart applications such as automobiles, IoT devices, and AI.
Together with the machinery set manufacturers, we toured the various exhibitor booths at this increasingly vibrant exhibition, observing semiconductor manufacturing and application technologies that are expected to see significant market growth in the future. We also had the opportunity to exchange opinions on further collaboration and future activities.
In addition, during the exhibition, we guided our visiting guests to the Mitsubishi Electric East Japan FA Solution Center in Tokyo, where they experienced Mitsubishi Electric FA system technologies and solutions through hands-on demonstrations and videos.


Our Agents and End Users Attend IIFES 2025
The IIFES 2025 (Innovative Industry Fair for E×E Solutions) was held at Tokyo Big Sight over three days from November 19 to 21, 2025. A total of 21 representatives from 12 companies—including our FA equipment and power distribution equipment agents, machinery set manufacturers, and end users—from various countries in East and Southeast Asia visited Japan and attended the exhibition. Mitsubishi Electric Taiwan Automation and our staff provided guided tours of the exhibition, mainly focusing on the Mitsubishi Electric booth.
This exhibition is one of Japan’s largest industrial trade shows, showcasing the latest technologies in FA (Factory Automation), IoT, AI, and robotics. This year, it was held under the theme “Gathering the Future of Manufacturing — Innovation, Collaboration, and Co-Creation.” At the Mitsubishi Electric booth, the theme was “Automating the World — Mitsubishi Electric’s advanced automation technologies create new value in manufacturing,” featuring technologies in FA, IoT, AI, robotics, and energy efficiency that accelerate the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry.
Our agents, machinery set manufacturers, and end users who attended the event gave us high praise, and we felt a strong sense of accomplishment.


Going forward, in the Asian market, we will continue to contribute to industrial development across Asia through our sales activities centered on Mitsubishi Electric’s FA equipment, power distribution control equipment, semiconductors, as well as through collaboration with our partner companies.
