iREX: International Robot Exhibition

The International Robot Exhibition (iREX) is a biennial robot trade show in Tokyo, first held in 1974 and organised by the Japan Robot Association (JARA) and Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun. The organisers bill it as the world's largest robot-only exhibition: the 26th edition, in December 2025, drew a record 673 exhibitors and 156,110 visitors to see industrial robots, service robots and automation technology. Exhibitor applications, visitor registration and enquiries are handled by the iREX office at Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (irex.nikkan.co.jp).
