An Upgraded Version of One of Asia’s Largest Startup Conferences
Under the concept of creating a sustainable city with high technology, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has been promoting “Sustainable High City Tech Tokyo,” or “SusHi Tech Tokyo” for short, to convey the challenge of solving urban issues and the diverse attractiveness of the capital city.
Upgrading “SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024” held in May this year, we have now decided to organize “SusHi Tech Tokyo 2025,” one of Asia’s largest startup conferences, in May next year at locations including the Tokyo Big Sight convention center.
