SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024 Participation Results Report

≪SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024参画結果レポート≫

「グローバルスタートアッププログラム」「ショーケースプログラム」への出展
「SMART CITY TOKYO Global Networking Night」の開催

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is implementing a wide range of measures to realize a ” Smart Tokyo ” where citizens can live a high quality of life by utilizing the power of digital technology to realize Tokyo’s potential.

As part of this, we participated in SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024, an event held in the Tokyo Bay Area from April to May SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024 to bring together technologies and ideas to tackle global challenges and create new sustainable value. We exhibited at the Showcase Program, a program that allows participants to experience the future of Tokyo, which aims to be a sustainable city where nature and convenience come together, and the Global Startup Program, Asia’s largest global innovation conference that creates “unseen encounters” with domestic and international startup ecosystems aimed at solving common urban issues around the world.

In addition, as a partner event, we held the “SMART CITY TOKYO Global Networking Night” for the first time, an event where smart city stakeholders from around the world gather to interact with each other.

Through these efforts, we have promoted “Smart Tokyo” widely both domestically and internationally, and have strengthened the network for further promotion.

Showcase Program

The “Showcase Program” was held for Tokyo residents at the Miraikan (National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation) and other venues, based on the concept of “providing content that allows visitors to experience what Tokyo in 2050 will be like through sight, touch, sound and taste, and allowing them to experience a fusion of nature and convenience.”
At the Smart Tokyo booth, videos, panel displays, and pamphlets were distributed to promote the “Smart Tokyo” initiative.
