Reports
【Reflection】
From 17 to 19 September 2025, SMART ENERGY WEEK [September]
2025 took place at Makuhari Messe, Japan. As one of the
largest renewable energy exhibitions in Japan’s second half of
the year, it aimed to accelerate the transition to a
decarbonised society in line with the 2050 carbon neutrality
goal.
The event showcased cutting-edge technologies driving Green
Transformation (GX), including hydrogen and fuel cells, solar
power, rechargeable batteries, smart grids, offshore wind, and
carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS). Alongside six
core exhibitions, special zones such as “Fusion Power World”,
“BIPV WORLD”, “Floating Offshore Wind World”, “ESS – Energy
Storage System WORLD”, and “Sustainability Management Week”
promoted cross-sector collaboration and innovation.
Over 100 conferences were held, featuring speakers from
government, industry, and academia, both domestic and
international. Topics ranged from policy trends and
technological advancements to public-private-academic
partnerships, offering diverse insights into the future of
energy.
The show opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by 34
leading figures from the energy sector, including
representatives from Japan’s Agency for Natural Resources and
Energy, the European Commission, universities, research
institutes, and energy companies.
Five themed networking events were held over the 3 days,
focusing on hydrogen, batteries, wind power, and
sustainability. These sessions fostered meaningful connections
and new business opportunities.
With 506 exhibitors and 45,741 visitors from 63 countries and
regions, the exhibition served as a dynamic international
platform for face-to-face business discussions and knowledge
exchange, contributing to the advancement of the global
renewable energy industry.
