CEATEC 2026 Opened on October 13 at Makuhari Messe, in Tokyo. This year’s theme is “Transformation” and the event announced 821 exhibiting companies and organizations from Japan and around the world. Among these, we are proud to count our company too: SOFTECH from Cluj-Napoca, the heart of Transilvania, Romania.
We are glad to have joined this particular mission at CEATEC Tokyo, beacuse it focuses on industrial IoT, cybersecurity, engineering software, applied AI, and other digital solutions with industrial applications. As SOFTECH core focus is building industrial-grade software development for global companies, we apprecaite this opportunity to discover a different ecosystem and make new connections in Japan.
Our Approach For the Japanese Ecosystem
After carefully analyzing our track record with Japanese partner company, we have realized that our team may be a cultural fit for Japanese software development teams.
We have outlined our strategy for the Japanese market taking into consideration three main business pillars: long‑term partnership, mutual trust, and technical excellence. We understand that our team can contribute with supporting Japanese organizations with reliable, maintainable, and high‑quality software systems, rather than short‑term or experimental solutions.
During our work we emphasize close collaboration, transparent communication, and stable delivery processes aligned with Japanese expectations for precision, continuity, and continuous improvement.
In the recent years Softech has been working with a Japanese company, gaining practical experience in adapting its development approach, quality standards, and communication style to the Japanese business environment.
Thus, through participation in Japanese technology events and fairs, SOFTECH aims to build lasting relationships, understand local needs in depth, and position itself as a reliable long‑term software development partner for Japanese enterprises.

European Software Engineering for Long-Term Digital Resilience
Among the networking activities, conference sessions and official ceremonies, we are also proud that our colleague, Walter Brem – COO held a powerful presentation on how a European based software engineering team can help for a long-term digital resilience.
In today’s context when the greatest challenge is not to develop software but to keep software reliable over time, SOFTECH is committed to help organizations modernize, evolve and maintain their software ecosystems.
In order to protect continuity, we propose a controlled modernization process that will shift you existing systems to a cloud ready, data-drive, AI ready and scalable future systems. For this purpose SOFTECH can contribute in three ways:
- Modernization of legacy and business-critical systems, of architectures and of cloud operations.
- Extension of data and AI capabilities, IoT and connected systems, of international product requirements compliance.
- Sustainability of maintenance and support operations, DevOps and quality assurance procedures and knowledge continuity methodologies.
In ordee to initiate a mutually productive collaboration, we favor a step-by-step approach.
- Understanding the context of Japanese product and solution vison teams, market variables and desired outcomes;
- Technical assessment of what needs to be solved and developed;
- Delivery of a focused pilot project;
- Measuring the results and adjusting further steps;
- Expand the cooperation gradually by integrating teams from each side.
