Why Aichi Sky Expo?
Aichi Sky Expo is Japan’s first international conference and exhibition center directly connected to an international airport, and the country’s only permanent bonded exhibition hall. It is located in a region that leads the world in manufacturing.
Japan’s Only Permanent Bonded Exhibition Hall
Aichi Sky Expo is Japan’s only permanent bonded exhibition hall, allowing for tax exemptions on overseas cargo and simplifying necessary procedures. This ensures smooth operations for trade fairs, exhibitions, and expositions. In addition to domestic exhibitors, we provide comprehensive services for international exhibitors as well. Our staff can assist you in Japanese, English, French, or Chinese—please feel free to reach out.
Among the Largest in Japan
Each hall at Aichi Sky Expo offers 10,000m² of space, and Halls B through F can be combined to create a total exhibition area of up to 50,000m². Hall A is a pillar-free space with a ceiling height of 20 meters, and we also provide an approximately 36,000m² outdoor multipurpose area, plus 18 conference rooms in large, medium, and small configurations. From trade shows and exhibitions to large-scale concerts, festivals, sports events, e-sports tournaments, ceremonies, academic conferences, and international conventions, our facilities accommodate a wide array of events.
Japan’s First Exhibition Venue Directly Connected to an International Airport
Aichi Sky Expo is directly connected to Chubu Centrair International Airport, just a five-minute walk away. The airport offers direct flights to 18 domestic cities and 20 international destinations, making the venue easily accessible for visitors from both inside and outside Japan. Its convenient location also provides excellent access to nearby tourist attractions, making it ideal for post-convention activities.
Since its opening in August 2019, Aichi Sky Expo has hosted 163 events through March 2021. In addition to trade shows and exhibitions, the venue has supported a wide variety of events.

Automotive Industry
Aichi Prefecture’s automotive industry accounts for 40% of its GDP, making it Japan’s leading automotive region. Aichi is a powerhouse for producing automobiles and automotive parts, ranking among the world’s top industrial areas. Additionally, based on the 2011 Aichi Automotive Industry Innovation Plan, the prefecture is actively developing next-generation vehicles, promoting trial operations of autonomous vehicles, and building infrastructure such as hydrogen stations.
Aerospace Industry
Since being designated as Asia’s No. 1 aerospace industry cluster special zone in 2011, Aichi Prefecture’s aerospace sector has rapidly advanced. It now produces about 50% of the aircraft parts and 80% of the airframe components in the Chubu region. The Chubu area is the largest aerospace industrial region in Japan and Asia, striving daily to become an international hub on par with Seattle in the United States and Toulouse in France.
Robotics Industry
In addition to the automotive and aerospace sectors, Aichi Prefecture has designated the robotics industry as its third main industrial sector, accounting for 20% of Japan’s robotics-related GDP. Following the establishment of the Aichi Robotics Industry Cluster Promotion Council in November 2014, the region has particularly promoted the development of medical and caregiving robots as well as unmanned aerial robots. In 2021, the World Robot Summit was held at Aichi Sky Expo.
Research and Development
In 2013, Aichi Prefecture launched “Chino Kyoten Aichi,” a development hub for industrial promotion, and established an industrial development system through collaboration among academia, government, and industry. The region conducts research and development that directly addresses the real needs of industry. Moreover, Aichi boasts 20 public testing and research facilities, 11 industrial support organizations, and 8 incubator facilities, making it a dynamic industrial area well-suited for hosting industry-related events.
