The Japan Analytical Instruments Manufacturers’ Association (JAIMA) was established in 1960 with the mission of advancing science and technology through the development of analytical instrumentation and the growth of the analytical instruments industry. Since its founding, JAIMA has contributed to the progress of Japan’s economy and the improvement of quality of life through the promotion of innovation in analytical and measurement technologies.
As we celebrate our 66th anniversary, the analytical and measurement industry finds itself in an era of unprecedented change. Geopolitical uncertainties continue to disrupt global supply chains, resulting in shortages and rising costs of energy, chemicals, and other critical resources. At the same time, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we live and work.
Advances in semiconductor miniaturization, the development of new materials, and data-driven simulation technologies are accelerating innovation across a wide range of fields. From research and development to advanced manufacturing and the life sciences, society increasingly depends on highly accurate, reliable, and sophisticated analytical and measurement technologies. More than ever, these technologies are becoming essential foundations for scientific discovery, industrial competitiveness, and sustainable growth.
In today’s world, few challenges can be solved by a single company or even a single industry. Meaningful progress requires collaboration among diverse stakeholders from industry, academia, and government. By combining knowledge, expertise, and resources, we can create new value and address the complex challenges facing society.
Against this backdrop, JAIMA is currently developing a medium- to long-term strategy to further enhance the value of JASIS, our flagship exhibition and conference. Our vision is to transform JASIS from a platform focused primarily on industry solutions into a dynamic ecosystem where knowledge, technologies, and ideas from a broad range of stakeholders converge and interact.
By embracing generative AI and other digital technologies, we aim to position JASIS as a platform for co-creation and collaboration—one that inspires future visions, fosters new partnerships, and contributes to solving societal challenges. We believe that evolving JASIS into such an ecosystem will be one of JAIMA’s most important missions in the years ahead.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and cooperation as we work together to advance analytical science and technology and create a more sustainable and prosperous future for society.
