2023.02.17
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) is promoting its “Sustainable High City Tech Tokyo (abbreviated as “SusHi Tech Tokyo”) concept to the world. This is a new concept of creating “sustainable new value” through cutting-edge technology and diverse ideas, using digital know-how to overcome common urban challenges.
For FY2023, the second phase of SusHi Tech Tokyo, TMG will use digital technology to promote the attractions of Tokyo from the view of real and virtual worlds.
In our virtual messaging, we will create a new communication space for people to experience the diversity of Tokyo’s attractions, utilizing a digital space that is independent of time and location.
In the winter of 2023, TMG will hold “Virtual Edo Tokyo (tentative name),” one of the largest "participation and exchange”-type digital events in Japan, providing an ideal opportunity both for companies to interact with each other, and for more people to enjoy the event, while also implementing a wide range of digital-based projects and integrated communications to showcase Tokyo’s strengths.
