Now in its fourth year, SusHi Tech Tokyo — short for Sustainable High City Tech Tokyo — has grown into the largest innovation conference in Asia, drawing startups, investors, corporate partners, and city leaders from around the world. This year’s edition is the biggest yet: 750 startup exhibitors from 60 countries, more than 10,000 facilitated business meetings, and an expected 60,000 attendees across three days.

The conference is organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government with a clear mission: bring together the world’s best innovators to build the sustainable cities of the future.

On the expo floor, 62 corporate partners — including Sony, Google, Microsoft, and Mizuho — are hosting reverse pitches and actively seeking startup collaborators, making it as much a live dealmaking marketplace as a conference. And the programming reflects that ambition.

SusHi Tech 2026 is zeroing in on four technology domains reshaping society: AI, Robotics, Resilience, and Entertainment. Expect live demos of humanoid robots, sessions on autonomous driving’s software revolution, deep dives into cyber defense and climate tech, and candid conversations about how AI is rewriting the global music and anime industries.
