SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 is an international event that brings together startups, large corporations, investors, public-sector leaders, and other stakeholders from Japan and around the world to share the latest technologies and ideas for building sustainable cities.
This year, the program centers on four themes—AI, Robotics, Resilience, and Entertainment. Through a packaged mix of sessions, exhibitions, and live demos, the event aims to move beyond vision and planning to accelerate real-world implementation—driving changes that connect directly to everyday life.
