Toyama General Manufacturing Industry Trade Fair (T-Messe)
Toyama General Manufacturing Industry Trade Fair (T-Messe) is held biennially with an aim of showcasing manufacturing technologies and products from inside and outside of Toyama Prefecture and overseas, promoting economic exchanges and introducing the said technologies to visitors. This is the largest international trade fair in Japan to be held on the Japan Sea coast.
The Center has been involved with holding international trade fairs since 1999, when it held the Northeast Asia Economic Exchange Expo (NEAR21) to promote economic exchange between companies in Northeast Asia and Toyama Prefecture. NEAR21 was integrated with the Toyama Techno Fair, sponsored by the Toyama Prefectural Machinery and Electronic Industries Association, to become the Toyama General Manufacturing Industry Trade Fair in 2015.
With participation from numerous domestic and overseas companies, this trade fair provides ever more international business opportunities by bringing Japanese companies and their overseas counterparts together in the same venue.
The "T" in T-Messe stands for Toyama, Technology, and Trade.
