To expand opportunities for entry into the environment and energy-related industry, a growing sector that can help solve urban issues, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government is supporting Tokyo-based small and medium-sized enterprises with advanced technologies and products to exhibit at overseas exhibitions in the environment and energy industry.
As part of this, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will support exhibiting at E-world Energy & Water 2026, an international trade fair for energy-related industries to be held in Essen, Germany in 2026.
A “Tokyo Pavilion” will be set up at the exhibition to promote the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in an integrated manner. In addition, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will provide support for exhibiting companies to acquire the knowledge and know-how necessary for overseas business in advance, as well as assistance in setting up business meetings with local companies and building future networks.
