What is our mission?
400 years ago, “Edo”, ancient Tokyo practiced the principles of a
Circular Economy.
In May 2025, Modern Tokyo, inheriting that DNA,
will become a hub for innovators and bold young challengers.
We will envision the future of cities, spark innovation, and drive
action - together.
We will address humanity's global challenge:
Creating sustainable cities through cutting-edge technology.

Envisioning the Future of
Sustainable Cities:
Asia's Largest Startup Conference
Last year, SusHi Tech Tokyo became one of Asia's largest startup
conferences in just its second year. It's a platform where
people from all over the world gather, discuss, and take action
to realize sustainable cities through high technology.
There are two key points when talking about SusHi Tech Tokyo:
Openly discussing the envisioned future of cities.
Creating more opportunities for
new encounters that lead to the growth of innovation and
startups.
This year, SusHi Tech aims to further upgrade its offerings, and
we look forward to welcoming you.
