DAVIS, California \u2013 September 15, 2025 \u2013 The Connectivity Standards Alliance (Alliance) Japan Interest Group, the global standards organization behind the industry-unifying standard Matter<\/a>, is pleased to announce its participation in the Lifestyle DX Pavilion<\/em> at CEATEC 2025<\/a>, one of Japan\u2019s largest comprehensive digital innovation exhibitions, organized by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA<\/a>). Through this exhibition, the Alliance aims to accelerate the adoption of its existing global smart home standard Matter and the upcoming Aliro<\/a> standard, contributing to the growth and revitalization of the Japanese smart home market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEATEC 2025 will showcase a wide array of cutting-edge technologies for smart homes and daily living, with visitors experiencing first-hand how these innovations can shape the future and advance individual and societal well-being, one of the key themes of Society 5.0. In particular, the Lifestyle DX Pavilion<\/em> seeks to promote cross-industry collaboration beyond the boundaries of the home appliance and housing sectors, reaching into the IT and electronics industries, and thereby enhancing the presence of smart home technologies and lifestyle DX services across the entire industrial landscape. Attendees will be able to experience the latest trends in smart homes, including case studies on solving social issues through smart appliances and housing equipment, IoT device cybersecurity measures, and common standards for network connectivity. The Alliance Japan Interest Group will participate as one of the organizations featured in this pavilion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Group is composed of committed companies interested in Japan\u2019s IoT market, aiming to provide technologies and solutions tailored to Japan\u2019s unique needs while strengthening global collaboration. In coordination with Alliance Marketing, the Group actively participates in exhibitions and lectures in Japan to raise awareness of Matter and Aliro. Participation in CEATEC 2025 marks an important step forward in achieving this goal. Led by Fumimasa Shingai, CEO of X-HEMISTRY Inc., which provides consulting for smart home business development, with more than 70 companies already participating, demonstrating the increasing interest in IoT standardization in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJapan is pivotal in defining the next era of the smart home by continuing to set the pace for global innovation. With Matter and Aliro, the Alliance is not just building standards – we are laying the foundation for a truly interoperable, secure, and intelligent connected world, said Tobin Richardson, President and CEO, Connectivity Standards Alliance. CEATEC 2025 is a powerful moment to unite with Japanese industry leaders, accelerate adoption of our global standards, and unlock new opportunities that will benefit businesses and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn recent years, the smart home market has been growing worldwide, and with significant growth potential in the Japanese market, many companies are beginning to explore smart home initiatives. The Alliance is at the forefront of standardizing smart home infrastructure, with diverse companies participating globally,\u201d said Fumimasa Shingai, Chair of the Japan Interest Group. Our participation in CEATEC 2025\u2019s Lifestyle DX Pavilion is an excellent opportunity to share the Alliance\u2019s initiatives with stakeholders in Japan and strengthen our collaboration. Through global open standards, we welcome more Japanese companies to join us in contributing to the realization of a more convenient and enriched lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
