The Tokyo government said it aims to increase the number of startups in Tokyo, inspire new solutions to urban issues through inter-city cooperation, and lead to the social implementation of cutting-edge technologies in Tokyo. In addition, holding the three programs simultaneously is expected to create a synergy between city leaders, startup companies, venture capital investors, companies with cutting-edge technology, and other figures in the startup ecosystem, enabling all of them to work together toward creating a sustainable city.
Visitors to the four venues, Miraikan, Ariake Arena, Symbol Promenade Park and the Umi-no-Mori Area, will be able to enjoy a full sensory experience of the Tokyo of 2050, where “nature”and “convenience” come together.
