The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) says that 52 technology startups will showcase their innovations at CES 2022 from Jan 5-8 in Las Vegas. The number of startups representing Japan at the Japan Pavilion (commonly known as the “J-Startup Pavilion”) in Eureka Park has doubled from 26 during the last in-person show in January 2020, prompting its host, JETRO, to open a second pavilion on the Venetian Expo’s second floor for CES 2022. Forty companies will exhibit at the JAPAN Pavilion in Eureka Park and 12 at the second pavilion.

“The JAPAN Pavilion has quickly and continuously grown in size since its opening four years ago, which is a testament to Japan’s ever-growing innovation economy and the government’s policies that are designed to foster it,” JETRO Executive Vice President Ichiro Sone said. “J-Startup companies’ record turnout for CES 2022 also reflects their excitement for returning to the global stage in-person following nearly two years of virtual activities amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We are thrilled to present an extensive lineup of life-transforming technologies from Japan at the Japan Pavilion.”
