INTERPHEX WEEK TOKYO 2026 Expands with CMO/CDMO Expo

INTERPHEX WEEK TOKYO, Japan’s largest pharmaceutical and biotech show, will take place from May 20 to 22, 2026, at Makuhari Messe. The event brings together a comprehensive range of products and services related to pharmaceuticals and regenerative medicine. It is expected to attract approximately 35,000 visitors and feature around 950 exhibitors. With six specialized exhibitions under one roof, INTERPHEX WEEK TOKYO provides a unified platform for networking, sourcing, and expanding business in Japan’s rapidly growing pharmaceutical market.

Responding to strong demand from pharmaceutical manufacturers, INTERPHEX WEEK TOKYO will debut the CMO/CDMO Expo—Japan’s first exhibition dedicated to pharmaceutical contract development and manufacturing. This new show is designed to connect CMOs/CDMOs with pharma companies seeking outsourcing solutions for:

• CMO/CDMO services (API manufacturing, small- and medium-molecule drugs, and biopharmaceuticals)
• Packaging and filling services
• Contract analysis and testing
• Other related contract services

Visitors include decision-makers from R&D, production, procurement, supply chain, quality assurance, and corporate planning. Alongside the newly launched CMO/CDMO Expo, BioPharma EXPO and PharmaLab EXPO are also drawing significant attention from pharmaceutical and biotech professionals in Japan and overseas, creating even broader opportunities for business discussions across the six concurrent shows.

To help first-time exhibitors achieve maximum results, the INTERPHEX WEEK TOKYO team provides extensive support services designed to simplify participation and boost ROI. These include:

• Digital Marketing & Lead Generation: Web promotions, mobile app lead capture, and visitor analytics to connect with the right audience.
• Booth Decoration Packages: Customisable designs and exhibitor toolkits for a professional, hassle-free setup.
• Advertising & Visibility: Featured placements, awards programmes, and seminar opportunities to increase brand exposure.
• Expert Assistance: Dedicated staff support before and during the event to ensure a smooth experience.

Joining as an exhibitor allows businesses to fully leverage the benefits of the show—greater visibility, access to high-quality leads, and entry into one of the world’s most dynamic pharmaceutical markets. For organisations aiming to establish a presence in Japan or connect with new customers, this event provides a valuable platform to achieve those goals.
