About the Japan International Seafood & Technology Expo
Japan International Seafood & Technology Expo is one of the primary seafood trade shows in Asia, attracting seafood companies and buyers from across Asia and further afield. Held at Tokyo Big Sight between 23-25 August, it will be the 25th edition of the expo and the first time Seafish have co-hosted a UK pavilion at the show since the pandemic.
This year’s event is expected to attract more than 30,000 visitors over the three days. Exhibitor numbers are expected to return to pre-pandemic levels, with over 800 exhibiting companies from over 25 countries.
