We exhibited in the Tokyo Pavilion at Smart City Expo World Congress 2025 in Barcelona, Spain

We exhibited at Smart City Expo World Congress 2025, one of the world’s largest smart city events, held in Barcelona, Spain from Tuesday 4 to Thursday 6 November 2025. We took part in the Tokyo Pavilion, set up by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, as a company selected for Be Smart Tokyo — its smart service implementation project.

The Tokyo Pavilion was built around the shared theme of resilience, and welcomed roughly 6,180 visitors over the course of the event. At our booth we showed how we use AI and AR to make the information inside a building easy to see, and got to talk with local governments and companies from outside Japan.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is working toward Smart Tokyo, raising residents’ quality of life through digital technology. As a program for implementing services that make life in Tokyo more convenient and richer, it launched Be Smart Tokyo, its smart service implementation project, in fiscal 2022.

■ About Nefront

Nefront uses AI and AR to make the information in a building easy to see and use.
IndooAR, our spatial information management system, uses image recognition to work out where you are — even indoors, where GPS barely reaches. From there it can guide you, show you AR content, and keep track of information and equipment.
We also offer Filefront, an AI drawing search service. It finds the sheet you need out of a large set of PDF drawings, by drawing type or by keyword.
