Tech for Impact
Summit
Where capital, policy, and technology converge — by invitation only.
World-Class Speakers
Learn from the leaders whose decisions move capital, shape policy, and define what impact technology becomes next.
One Day to Cross Every Boundary.
The technology to shape 2050 is already in our hands. But the real challenge isn't technology — it's the ancient OS running in our brains: a 50,000-year-old default that splits the world into "us vs. them." What we need isn't another breakthrough. It's trust across boundaries — the same lesson humanity's oldest technology, the campfire, taught us.
Tech for Impact Summit is an invitation-only gathering held during SusHi Tech Tokyo. C-suite leaders, institutional investors, and senior policymakers convene around closed-door Strategy Dialogues under Chatham House rules and a VIP dinner — forging the alliances and commitments that turn conversation into action.
Held at Kioi Conference, Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho — in the heart of Chiyoda-ku.
