For the second consecutive year, Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) will be exhibiting at “BioJapan 2026,” which will be held at Pacifico Yokohama from Wednesday, October 7, to Friday, October 9, 2026.

BioJapan, which began in 1986, is one of Asia’s largest partnering events focused on biotechnology. It brings together stakeholders from industry, academia, and government across a wide range of fields, including drug discovery, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, and functional foods. During the event, “Regenerative Medicine JAPAN 2026” and “healthTECH JAPAN 2026” will also be held concurrently.

NUT will be exhibiting at a joint booth with Akita Prefectural University and the University of the Ryukyus, where NUT will present “research achievements in the fields of fermentation and biomanufacturing, as well as initiatives aimed at the social implementation of the bioeconomy” and “each university’s COI-NEXT program.” Researchers and URAs will be available to exchange ideas with visitors and discuss opportunities for collaborative research and business partnerships (Booth No. C-36, near the C Gate entrance).

At the same venue, “Gominux Inc.,” a startup founded by NUT, is exhibiting and introducing its technology for producing high-performance materials from food waste. In addition, the “N.CYCLE Project”—in which NUT is participating and which focuses on regional resource recycling by returning rice-washing water generated during rice cracker production to rice paddies as compost—will also be exhibiting.

Advance registration (free) via the official website is required to attend. NUT looks forward to welcoming everyone to the venue.
