Solution Fair 2008 at the Pacifico Yokohama on January 24 & 25, 2008. This will be the 15th time that this event has been held, “World-Leading Technologies – Yours to Discover” is the theme of including EDSFair’s predecessor, the EDA TechnoFair. this Electronic Design and Solution Fair 2008. You will find on display world-class, cutting-edge technologies tailored for an age The goal of EDSFair is to introduce and disseminate information that demands new solutions. There are a variety of seminars and a about the latest design solutions, design technologies, and EDA conference offering a wide range of up-to-date information. There technologies required to produce the semiconductors and electronic are open sessions catering to young engineers, new zones that bring systems for the IT applications that will form the foundation of the together both Japanese and foreign venture businesses, as well as future information society, whose citizens will enjoy a ubiquitous initiatives for promoting substantive technical exchanges between computing environment. The fair thus contributes to the industry, academia and government. development of electronics and other IT-related industries. It is the fervent desire of all of us in JEITA that EDSFair will From the second half of last year there have been signs of recovery contribute to enhancing the design technologies available to Japan's in Japan's electronics industry, with both production and exports on electronic and IT industries, and also that both visitors and the rise, and this recovery has been gathering momentum this year. exhibitors will be able to make the best use of the opportunities This is especially noticeable in the fields of semiconductors and afforded by this event for conducting effective and fruitful displays, where a growing number of companies are increasing their exchanges of information, and for generating new business. capital investment. We greatly look forward to the participation of many companies JEITA forecasts that this year Japan's electronics industry will and professionals in this upcoming trade show. achieve a 2.3% increase over last year in its domestic production. Depending on business conditions in the second half, it is possible that the final figure may even exceed ¥20 trillion. Furthermore, this upturn is not limited in scope: everything from components and semiconductors to home IT appliances and mobile phones are expected to benefit from growing demand. Japan Electronic and Information Technology Nevertheless, facing increased competition in the international Industries Association (JEITA) arena, Japan’s industries as a whole need to enhance their Chairman Naoyuki Akikusa competitive power, and this requires innovations on many different (also Chairman and Representative Director, levels. It is therefore of critical importance that we foster the Fujitsu Limited) 2.Greeting from the EDSFair2007 Executive Committee Chairman The Electronic Design and Solution Fair 2007 (EDSFair2007)-held Venture Company Pavilion and various seminars at a Special Event for two days from Thursday, January 25, 2007-ended without Stage, which were well-received.

I would like to extend my cordial gratitude to the exhibitors, our supporters and assisting organizations, and our other backers, as We are scheduling the upcoming Electronic Design and Solution well as those associated with the Executive Committee, our Fair 2008 (EDSFair2008) for Thursday, January 24 and Friday, management staff, and many others whose cooperation made the January 25, 2008 (two days), at Pacifico Yokohama. event a success. I request your continued support and cooperation in these efforts. In hosting EDSFair2007 we succeeded in introducing into the whole industry the latest solutions for hardware and software design required for ever more sophisticated electronic systems and semiconductors. We believe this enabled attendees to gather valuable information and disseminate information on the latest trends, as well as providing a venue for fruitful industry communication. In response to visitor requests to hear more about Japanese and overseas venture companies and about the industry and technology EDSFair2007 Executive Committee trends expected at an industry-wide event such as this, we set up a Chairman Mitsuru Nadaoka 1 3.Exhibition Outline qExhibition Outline Name Electronic Design and Solution Fair 2007 (EDSFair2007) Duration .
