Ahead of its official opening, tech trade show SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024 offered a glimpse of futuristic mobility, sustainable food and entertainment innovations in a preview event on April 9.
The media preview featured a new compact tricycle, a water-sky versatile drone, beef-free hamburgers and other highlights from the show’s Showcase Program, which envisions “urban life in 2050.”
“Experience a sustainable and high-tech Tokyo,” said Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike, promoting the event that will be held in multiple venues across the capital from April 27 to May 26.
SusHi Tech Tokyo, which stands for the Sustainable High City Tech Tokyo, is organized by the Tokyo metropolitan government.
“Tokyo is a diverse metropolis. I want to inspire the event’s audiences to envision the future with us,” said creative director Asako Tsuji, who created the Showcase Program.
Tsuji’s program will be held in four venues including Ariake Arena and the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.
