Tokyo Systems Engineering Summit 2026:

Software-Defined. Model-Based. Across Industries.

27 November 2026 | Marunouchi Hall & Conference, Tokyo | Free Admission

Rethinking Engineering – Together, Global, Hands-On

Today's complex products are built by connected teams, grounded in digital models, across company boundaries and continents. The Tokyo Systems Engineering Summit brings together the people who shape this change every day: practitioners from Japan and Europe who come to learn from one another, share what works, and move forward together – in a format that allows for depth and creates encounters that genuinely matter.

Programme 2026: From Practice. For Practice.

Industry and academic presentations explore how model-based, software-defined engineering is lived in real-world projects today – across sectors, through both Japanese and European lenses.

Topics and contributions in 2026 include:

• Aerospace: System architectures and model-based development processes
• Automotive: Software-defined vehicles and end-to-end engineering
• Shipbuilding: Digital continuity in complex manufacturing environments
• Medical Technology: Where regulatory requirements meet model-based approaches
• Academic contributions on engineering design and product development
• Industry perspectives on digital transformation in practice

Confirmed Speakers (more to follow):

• Dr. Thilo Jania | Senior Vice President | Global Center of Development Excellence Head | R&D | Olympus Corporation 
• Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Kreimeyer, Ingénieur ECP | Institute for Engineering Design and Industrial Design, University of Stuttgart

Format: One Day. Full Intensity.

Conference and exhibition are seamlessly connected – in space and in substance. The exhibition forms the natural environment between sessions, close to the topics and close to the people driving them. The conversations that begin here tend to last well beyond the day itself.

• Presentations with simultaneous interpretation English ↔ Japanese
• Integrated exhibition within the conference environment
• Complimentary catering throughout the day
• Evening Networking Get-together, 18:00–20:00, with light refreshments – for the conversations the day deserves

Attendance for conference visitors is entirely free of charge.

Exhibitors & Premium Partners: Visibility Where It Counts

The Tokyo Systems Engineering Summit is one of the few platforms that gives international technology providers direct access to a highly qualified, cross-industry audience from Japan and Europe. As an exhibitor, you present your solutions where the conversation is happening – integrated into the conference environment, not alongside it.

As a Premium Partner, you gain maximum brand presence across all Summit communication channels: from the event website and print materials through to pre- and post-event coverage.

Interested in an exhibition space or a premium partnership? We look forward to hearing from you.
