Strategic Partnership Launch

Bitcoin World partners with SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026, embedding its Startup Battlefield into the conference. The collaboration creates a direct pipeline for top Asian startups to the global competition. The event runs April 27‑29 at Tokyo Big Sight, highlighting Tokyo’s rise as a sustainable‑tech hub.

SusHi Tech Challenge Integration

The SusHi Tech Challenge, the conference’s flagship pitch contest, attracted 820 applications from 60 countries. Seven finalists will present, and the Grand Prix winner receives ¥10 M plus automatic entry into Bitcoin World’s Disrupt Startup Battlefield Top 200, bypassing the usual application process. Isabelle Johannessen will serve as a judge for the competition.

Broader Impact and Scale

SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 features 750 startups, over 10 000 business meetings, and an expected 60 000 attendees, with corporate partners such as Sony, Google, Microsoft and Mizuho. It focuses on AI, robotics, resilience and entertainment, and hosts a G‑NETS Leaders Summit of 49 city leaders. The partnership signals a shift in global venture flow toward Asia and positions Tokyo as a key innovation nexus.
