SKS Japan 2026 Foodtech Summit Publishes Agenda For Three Days In Tokyo
The agenda frames foodtech as one of Japan's 17 strategic growth fields and pushes the discussion past individual products toward new industries, which is where the event's stated aim of concrete cross-industry collaboration either holds up or does not.

SKS JAPAN 2026, described by its organizer as Japan's largest global foodtech summit, has published its session agenda ahead of a three-day run from November 5 to 7, 2026 at Muromachi Mitsui Hall & Conference in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. UnlocX Inc. and the US foodtech outlet The Spoon co-host the event, which carries the theme "From Food Innovation to Next Industries." An invitation-only pre-event takes place November 4.
The organizer cites the 2025 edition as drawing over 400 companies and more than 1,000 participants from Japan and overseas. Sessions announced for 2026 include one on national strategy that examines foodtech's place among Japan's 17 strategic growth fields and the state of industry-academia-government collaboration, and another arguing that food has been treated as a vertically segmented industry in which SMEs account for 90%, rather than as a large industry on the scale of automobiles or semiconductors.
Speakers come from Japan and overseas, including sponsoring companies.
