JIMTOF 2020 to welcome visitors online

JIMTOF 2020, which was scheduled to be held in December of this year, was cancelled, but we have decided to hold an on-line exhibition in response to the need for new-product announcements and opportunities for business talks.

JIMTOF 2020 Online is the on-line exhibition where cutting-edge machine tools, their related equipments and technologies are gathered from around the world and used as a platform for sophisticated communications. In addition to being able to introduce new products and technologies through providing videos and materials, we will support participants to realize fruitful business talks, including the acquisition of high-quality leads through the provision of participant data. We are also planning to hold a full range of joint events, such as webinars and programs for students.

Details of various plans are scheduled to be announced gradually from August 2020 onward, and applications for exhibitions are scheduled to start in early September.
