The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) announced today that it will organize a Japanese business delegation to eMerge Americas 2026, marking the first time JETRO has led an official delegation to the conference.

The delegation will participate in eMerge Americas 2026, to be held in Miami, Florida, and will include three Japanese companies: I-PEX USA Manufacturing, Inc., JATCO, Inc., and Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas). Each company will attend with the objective of exploring collaboration opportunities with U.S. startups and key innovation ecosystem stakeholders, particularly in Florida and across the United States.

**I-PEX USA Manufacturing, Inc.**

I-PEX’s mission is to bring innovative ideas to market across industries such as mobility, aerospace, and medical. The company provides comprehensive solutions including product design support, resin injection molding, and automated production technologies.

As part of the delegation’s program, JETRO will host a reverse pitch event and a networking session at the eMerge Americas venue.
