Child Edu & Care Japan sets new records for visitor and exhibitor participation

14 Dec 2021

The 2021 edition of Child Edu & Care Japan, the first and only professional trade fair for products and services related to childcare and education in Tokyo, successfully concluded on 2 December at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Centre Hamamatsucho Hall. The two-day fair attracted 3,052 professional visitors from related industries who came to sample and source the latest products and services from 168 companies.

The strong turnout represented a new high for both exhibitor and visitor numbers, as the fair once again gave a warm welcome to professionals from nursery schools and kindergartens. The fair proved to be an exceptional platform for Japanese childcare industry players to conduct business, network and gain market information, as the hall was filled with visitors eagerly asking questions to exhibitors.

Feedback from participants
“This is the one and only trade fair in the region focused on the childcare industry. I have discovered many more innovative products and services than I expected. I also enjoyed meeting and exchanging new ideas with nursery teachers, directors and managers form related facilities.”
Mr Yuzen Saito, Board Chairman, Seiwagakuen (Speaker)

“We are here for the first time because we achieved successful results from exhibiting at the sister fair Child Edu & Care Japan West in July 2021. The visitor flow is great and we are receiving many inquiries. This year’s Child Edu & Care Japan definitely met our expectations. We are looking forward to coming back to the fair again.”
