Tokyo “SusHi” Night in New York

As part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s goal to make Tokyo “Innovation and Financial Hub in Asia” to support the realization of a sustainable society, we are pleased to announce Tokyo “SusHi” Night, a seminar in New York to promote the “SusHi” (Sustainable High City Tech Tokyo) initiative. This initiative aims to contribute to the growth of Japan and Asia by attracting funds, human assets, technology, and information from around the world.

This event aims to convey to U.S. startups the appeal of Tokyo as a business development destination, inviting them to expand into Tokyo, collaborating with local companies in the city. It will also provide investors and business professionals with a deeper understanding of Tokyo’s startup ecosystem, thus expanding investment opportunities. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will continue to follow up with companies that participate in this event to support their success in Tokyo.
