Sustech Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representatives: Yusuke Tanno, Yuichiro Iida; hereinafter, Sustech) is pleased to announce its selection for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "Global South GX Promotion Project."
This project supports initiatives by Tokyo-based companies to deploy their advanced GX (Green Transformation) technologies to Global South countries, where a rapid increase in energy demand is anticipated. Selected companies will receive hands-on support for local expansion.
Sustech is one of Japan's largest Next Unicorn companies* (as of February 2026, according to Ink Co., Ltd. research), developing "ELIC," an AI power operation platform that enhances the integrated operation of renewable energy and storage batteries, and "CARBONIX," a cloud platform that supports corporate decarbonization management. Through this selection, Sustech will advance initiatives aimed at business expansion in the Philippines. This opportunity will further accelerate its business growth both domestically and internationally.
*As of February 2026, according to Ink Co., Ltd. research.
Furthermore, the knowledge gained from this initiative will be shared with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, further promoting the advancement of the power system towards making renewable energy a primary power source.
Background and Significance of Selection
In the Global South, while electricity demand is expanding rapidly due to economic growth, challenges such as power instability and grid constraints are becoming apparent with the increasing adoption of renewable energy.
Sustech's strength lies in its unique technology that uses AI to achieve "high-precision prediction of renewable energy generation," "optimal control of storage batteries," and "integrated operation across multiple power markets." As the "Power OS for the era of renewable energy mainstreaming," Sustech provides solutions to these challenges.
This selection recognizes that such technology contributes to solving global energy problems.
About the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "Global South GX Promotion Project"
This project, promoted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, aims to contribute to both economic growth and decarbonization in the Global South by supporting the overseas expansion of excellent GX-related technologies held by Tokyo-based companies. It is expected to promote the social implementation of GX locally and to return knowledge and results gained overseas to Tokyo, thereby strengthening the competitiveness of industries within the metropolis.
About ELIC
"ELIC," developed by Sustech, is a next-generation energy management system designed to overcome challenges associated with the widespread adoption of renewable energy. "ELIC" is composed of cutting-edge technologies, including AI-driven management and operation of distributed power sources, accurate prediction of power generation and demand, optimal control of storage batteries, reduction of grid load, and market trading of environmental value, all of which improve the performance of renewable energy and realize a "zero blackout" scenario.
About CARBONIX
"CARBONIX" is a cloud-based decarbonization support platform that centrally manages everything from corporate GHG emission calculation to reduction target design and progress management. It enables efficient visualization of GHG emissions across the entire supply chain, including complex data collection, authority management, and information sharing, providing one-stop support for "decarbonization management as a weapon" for companies and local governments.
