Under the vision of "Realizing a sustainable society through technology," Tokyo Metropolitan Government is actively promoting initiatives to address urban challenges while showcasing Tokyo’s diverse appeal to both domestic and international audiences. These initiatives are presented under the banner of "SusHi Tech Tokyo."

In November 2022, Tokyo Metropolitan Government established its startup strategy, "Global Innovation with STARTUPS," which aims to:

•Increase the number of unicorns from Tokyo by tenfold in five years,
•Increase the number of startups in Tokyo by tenfold in five years, and
•Increase the number of public-private collaboration practices in Tokyo by tenfold in five years.
This ambitious 10×10×10 Innovation Vision serves as the foundation for various initiatives to achieve these goals.

This initiative is a global expansion of the "SusHi Tech" vision, which focuses on realizing a sustainable society through technology. Essentially, it is a strategic effort to share and implement the philosophies and activities of SusHi Tech Tokyo on an international scale.
