AI for a Better Future: Our Highlights from CEATEC Japan

First hours at CEATEC Official.

This was my first time beeing in Japan. I expected lots of noise and tech overload. Instead, nothing but calm faces, precise conversations, quiet determination. Here, innovation doesn’t try to impress. It tries to endure. There’s something very Japanese in that: patience before progress.

I’m here with INNOKREA, but also just as someone who enjoys asking “why?” before “how?” And I’ve already learned — a good bow can say as much as a keynote. Together with other friends from Europe we were there as a part of larger project EU-Japanease contingency of tech companies, exhibiting on a one larger space.

🎥 AI For a sustainable economy — our projects, our voice!

I had the honor of speaking to a wonderful audience at the CEATEC trade fair in Japan, where I talked about how artificial intelligence can really support a sustainable economy. These are not just inspiring ideas — they are concrete solutions that we are already implementing at INNOKREA:

⚡ Forecasting energy production from PV panels Artificial intelligence forecasts solar energy production, helping operators manage their networks more efficiently and reduce losses.
💓 mRadar – artificial intelligence in cardiology A medical device that analyzes vital signs, enabling early detection of threats – technology in the service of healthcare.
♻️ Silentclicks.com B2B platform for used equipment Instead of disposal—a second life for resources. Our solution supports the circular economy in businesses.

This is what artificial intelligence for a sustainable economy means—technology that not only accelerates business, but also responds to global challenges in energy, health, and responsible resource use.

Dream came true🤩.

Since my early childhood I’ve always wanted to see real sumo wrestlers in action! I finally got a chance 💪 I also had the chance to bow before the majestic Mount Fuji 🗻 (a truly humbling experience). Japan is such a beautiful and perfectly organized country, and yes, the food is amazing! 🍣 As a sushi enthusiast, I was definitely in paradise. I’m happy I managed to find a bit of time to explore this incredible country, not just attend trade fairs.

I even tried to escape from local politics… only to be caught by Japanese politics instead 😉 (The outgoing Prime Minister of Japan happened to walk right past me!) Japan truly is a land of many (beautiful!) faces. 🇯🇵✨

Reflecting on an inspiring mission to Japan!

I had the real pleasure of joining an incredible business mission to Japan. It was a truly eye-opening experience full of innovation, meaningful connections and cultural exchange.

A huge thank you to all the European companies that participated (Aida Innovazione, Cicada Technologies, Collab, dLab, European DIGITAL SME Alliance, FACIL’iti, GREÏ, Logiicdev GmbH, NUTAI, Scriptide, Sparsity Technologies). It was a privilege to share insights, ideas and ambitions with such passionate and forward-thinking partners.

Special thanks also go to the organizers (EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, CEATEC Official) for their excellent coordination, outstanding booth presentation and seamless logistics throughout the mission. Your hard work made this initiative both impactful and enjoyable!

I am returning home inspired and energized, with new perspectives and valuable partnerships that I am excited to develop further. 🇪🇺🤝🇯🇵
