Japan has proudly hosted ICSE twice before – ICSE 1982 in Tokyo and ICSE 1998 in Kyoto. After nearly 30 years, ICSE is finally returning to Japan, and we are delighted to welcome the community back to Tokyo, starting the next 50 years of ICSE. As Japan’s capital, Tokyo is consistently recognized as one of the safest cities in the world and is among the most dynamic and populous metropolitan areas globally, regularly topping travelers’ rankings.
The Japanese software engineering community, represented by IPSJ-SIGSE together with many other groups – including IEICE SIG-SS, SIG-KBSE, JSSST FOSE, MLSE, and rePiT – has been steadily growing and strengthening its research and practice activities. These efforts have created vibrant, long-standing nationwide networks of researchers, practitioners, and educators, supported by strong and active international collaborations.
The Japanese software engineering community is proud to welcome ICSE 2029 to Tokyo, with the generous support of the Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau and valued sponsors. Hosting ICSE 2029 marks a historic milestone for Japan and the broader region, strengthening global collaboration and partnerships across academia, industry, and government. Bringing ICSE to Tokyo will also broaden participation from around the world and provide exciting opportunities to connect with leading industries in AI, quantum computing, electrical engineering, manufacturing, robotics, automotive systems, and beyond, all of which are strong in Japan and the broader Asian region.
