Finished products and services are exhibited based on their target: consumers or businesses. - Electronic Components, Devices & Industrial Equipment Stage
Components and production techniques are exhibited based on product and service categories.

Information, communications and a wide variety of electronics technologies have converged with a high level of sophistication, giving rise to a new era of information technology (IT). To meet the new needs of the times, CEATEC JAPAN was launched in the year 2000 through the merger of two of Japan's leading trade exhibitions. The predecessors were COM JAPAN, which was designed in line with new information and communications needs, and the Japan Electronics Show, the oldest trade exhibition in Japan. CEATEC JAPAN 2000 opened as an integrated exhibition for the IT age, presenting not only the data people needed, but also the information they wanted. The show was highly evaluated by visitors in fields from researchers in IT-related fields and representatives of manufacturing companies to the consumers who use IT products.
