SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026: Reinventing Remote Participation

The upcoming SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 promises to redefine how attendees engage in global innovation events. Scheduled for April 27 to April 29, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight, this event will feature cutting-edge innovations in AI, robotics, entertainment, and more, attracting visitors from around the world.

In an exciting development, toraru Corporation, based in Kobe, Japan, will introduce its pioneering remote presence service, GENCHI. This service provides a unique way for international visitors to be part of the event from anywhere in the world. After the overwhelming response to the previous free slots that sold out quickly, toraru has decided to increase free entry slots, allowing more attendees to experience this groundbreaking technology.

The GENCHI Experience

GENCHI is not just another virtual attendance service; it offers an immersive experience that simulates physical presence at the event. Imagine being able to interact with exhibitors and network with others while navigating the exhibition floor as if you were actually there, regardless of your geographical location. Through the technology developed by toraru, participants can send a digital version of themselves to the event, using smartphones of local agents who act as their proxy.

On April 28, at 3 PM, Moe Iritani, the COO of toraru, will be speaking at the Atrium stage, sharing insights on the significance of remote participation in fostering global communication and accessibility. This partnership aligns with Tokyo’s vision to attract international visitors and create an inclusive environment.

Why Attend Remotely?

The introduction of free slots for remote attendance highlights toraru’s commitment to inclusivity. This initiative targets various demographics, including business professionals seeking efficient use of time, young individuals facing financial constraints, and those unable to attend due to personal circumstances like maternity leave. Remote participation is an ideal solution that allows everyone, regardless of their situation, to experience the innovations showcased at SusHi Tech.

By using GENCHI, users can seamlessly teleport to the event without the need for physical travel, engaging in immersive commerce, networking, and even attending workshops, all from their homes or offices.

Innovations on Display

This year marks the fourth iteration of the SusHi Tech event, which has previously included an impressive array of innovations from startups around the world. In 2025, over 600 startups showcased their creations, and nearly 58,000 attendees from 100 different countries participated. Through GENCHI, attendees will not only connect with global innovations but also physically embody their presence at the event through local proxies.
