SusHi Tech Tokyo isn’t a conference — it’s a deal room with 60,000 people

SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 Kicks Off in Tokyo This April

The tech conference will feature 60,000 attendees from 49 countries, with a focus on facilitated business meetings and deal-making. The official app uses AI to connect startups with potential partners, and attendees can pre-book meeting spaces before the conference even starts.

The startup pitch competition will also be held at SusHi Tech Tokyo, where one standout startup will advance to the prestigious TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield 200. Corporates are pitching to startups in a reverse format, presenting their unsolved challenges and inviting proposals for solutions.

750 startups from around the world will be exhibiting, with 400 coming from outside Japan. City partners from 25 countries and regions will also be participating, bringing their own cohorts of startups and capital. The conference runs April 27-29 at Tokyo Big Sight, with registration now open to save up to $410 on tickets.
