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

SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 (April 27-29) is a 60,000-person event structured as an AI-powered deal room rather than a traditional conference, featuring 750 startup exhibitors and 10,000 pre-booked business meetings facilitated by the event's matchmaking app. The event prioritizes deal velocity: the app uses AI to surface relevant connections before attendees arrive, and on-site QR code business card exchange replaces traditional card fumbling. In a notable inversion of typical startup events, corporate executives pitch to founders instead of vice versa.
