First of all, we would like to express our deepest sympathies to all those affected by COVID-19, and we would like to express our sincere respect and gratitude to everyone who is still engaged in preventing the spread of infection.

The 25th event, which was supposed to be held in February 2021, was gotten ready with the highest priority given to ensuring the safety of all visitors, including measures to prevent the spread of infection. However, due to the spread of the infection, which seems to be uncertain, and various new measures and restrictions, there was a high risk that we will not be able to provide sufficient content as a show that will satisfy everyone. Unfortunately, we have decided to cancel. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to the exhibitors and other supporting organizations that have already applied.

In 2025, OSAKA-KANSAI EXPO is scheduled to be held in Kansai.

We are determined to work with all exhibitors to create new styles that can respond to changes in the environment surrounding automobiles, including the realization of carbon neutrality. We appreciate your understanding of the purpose of the event, and we ask for your support and cooperation.
