SusHi Tech Tokyo is Asia’s largest and Japan’s only global innovation convention that seeks to create “new encounters” with (inter)national startup ecosystems to tackle a wide variety of common global urban issues such as infrastructure, education, and culture. They have keynote sessions, a pitch contest, booth exhibitions and business matching sessions.

Takeoff Tokyo is a two-day event for startup founders from all around the world. Startup entrepreneurs share their experiences on panel discussions, meet with potential investors and go head-to-head in a startup pitch contest.

Innovation Leaders Summit (ILS) backed by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), ILS matches large, established companies with startups to foster innovative new businesses. Online matchmaking is also possible and that offers an easy way to explore the Japanese market and way of doing business in a rather easy way for a good price.
