Nagoya

 Global MICE Cities

Located in the center of Japan and the western part of Aichi Prefecture, Nagoya was created in 1610 when Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616), the first Tokugawa shogun, relocated the entire city of Kiyosu. The city has long functioned as a hub of manufacturing, and is still the heart of traditional industries such as ceramics and weaving, as well as of the automotive, aerospace, robotics and other advanced industries. The city also boasts distinct historical and cultural traditions, from its castle and museums that still emanate the feel of samurai culture to the unique cuisine of Nagoya-meshi.

Recent Trends in Regional Industry and
Research in Nagoya and Aichi Prefecture

Automobiles and Transportation Systems

The headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation, one of the biggest automakers in the world, are in Toyota-city, approximately one hour from Nagoya. Many Toyota group companies are also located in Aichi Prefecture, forming one of the world’s preeminent automotive manufacturing clusters.
This region was the birthplace of the hybrid vehicle technology that sparked the eco-car boom, and leads the world in research, development and commercialization of fuel cell vehicles, regarded as the ultimate in environmentally friendly automobiles.
In the aim of creating a low-carbon city, since 2010 the automotive industry has been collaborating with electric power companies, electrical machinery manufacturers, local governments and other interested parties to construct next-generation transportation systems and conduct large-scale trials of personal mobility schemes.

Aircraft

The region is known as a leader in the Japanese aircraft industry, and is home to many companies producing aircraft parts and materials. Structural parts produced in the region are also used in aircraft assembled overseas.
The Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), Japan’s first small jet aircraft and the subject of global aircraft industry interest, was also developed in the region. In 2014 Aeromart Nagoya, an international convention for the aircraft industry, was held – the first time the event had taken place in Japan.

Medicine: Medical Equipment Manufacturing

Utilizing extensive local manufacturing expertise, development of medical equipment is flourishing in Nagoya.
Denso, a major supplier of vehicle parts to the Toyota Group, is adapting automotive production line control technologies to develop surgical support robots.
The region is also home to SMEs that possess top-class technologies, such as Nidek Co., Ltd., which produces several ophthalmological devices boasting a No.1 global market share.

Ceramic Products

The ceramic industry has a long history in Aichi Prefecture, and several major manufacturers of ceramic products are based in the region.
These companies utilize techniques derived from ceramic production to create semiconductor and electrical components. For example, their ceramic products are used in particulate filters for automotive exhaust gases.
Recently enterprises with strengths in storage battery technologies, which are essential to more efficient energy usage, have grown in the region, and their products are being used in the large-scale trials mentioned above.
