Tokyo, Japan | Apr 14 — The international space community will come together once again for SPEXA 2026, taking place May 27–29, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight. This year’s edition marks a major milestone for the event, as it expands to 1.5 times the size of last year and welcomes more than 250 exhibitors from around the world, making it one of Asia’s largest space industry shows. The growth reflects the accelerating momentum of commercial space development and the increasing demand for a platform where leaders can explore new technologies, partnerships, and commercial pathways.
Highlighting the Expanding Commercial Space Market
As the global space industry continues to shift toward commercial activity, SPEXA 2026 aims to provide a central venue for companies, government officials, engineers, researchers, and investors to exchange insights and discover opportunities. The exhibition will spotlight the commercial use of satellite data, advances in space infrastructure, new frontiers in space manufacturing, and emerging advanced space services—all areas driving today’s most dynamic market growth.
This year’s show underscores how deeply interconnected space technology has become with a broader range of industries. With strong national support for space‑related innovation, Japan is seeing increased participation from companies in electronics, energy, manufacturing, and materials, each bringing expertise that complements the needs of the evolving global space ecosystem.
More Than 100 Technologies on Display
