Business Matching
At TOKYO GAME SHOW, we provide business opportunities for all Business Day attendees.
By purchasing a "Business Day Pass Ticket," "Business Day Gold Pass Ticket," or "Business Day Black Pass Ticket," you will receive an invitation email for the TGS Business Matching System. Once registered, you will be able to arrange meetings with exhibitors through the platform.
Business meetings at TGS are conducted using the Business Matching System, and can take place either onsite or online over all four days of the show. The system features profiles of exhibitors, including the technologies, products, and services they offer or seek. You can search these listings and contact representatives directly.
The system also includes a recommendation feature, which suggests the most relevant potential business matches based on the registered profiles of exhibitors and participants. This helps improve the effectiveness of your meetings.
The platform is compatible with smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices, and supports real-time appointment updates. As always, TGS welcomes a large number of international exhibitors, especially from across Asia, making it an ideal opportunity to conduct international business meetings that are difficult to arrange on a regular basis.
We look forward to your participation.
