SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 is positioning itself as a major tech conference with four focused technology domains (AI, robotics, and others) featuring hands-on demos, dedicated exhibits, and sessions with leading builders and investors. TechCrunch is an official media partner and will select finalists for Disrupt Startup Battlefield.
