(Taipei, April 27, Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng) Environment Minister Peng Chi-ming was invited to attend a major Japanese startup event and interacted with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike. Peng views Koike as a role model for environmental administration, highly praising Koike's "cherishing of goods and avoidance of waste" during her tenure as Environment Minister, and hopes that Taiwan and Japan will continue to deepen cooperation.
The Ministry of Environment announced today that Peng Chi-ming was invited to attend SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026, Asia's largest startup event, and appeared on stage with Yuriko Koike and Estonia's Minister of Digital Development at the opening ceremony.
SusHi Tech, hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, focuses on cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, urban resilience, and future lifestyle technologies, making it Asia's most representative urban innovation and technology startup exhibition. Peng Chi-ming not only delivered a speech showcasing Taiwan's achievements in promoting environmental governance through technology but also paid tribute to Yuriko Koike, a political role model, during the event.
Peng Chi-ming emphasized that in facing global environmental challenges, Taiwan is advancing on a dual track of "digital transformation" and "circular economy," and is implementing concrete actions for "AI All In." Through the integration of AI and IoT, precise 24-hour law enforcement is achieved, and in the future, more AI applications will be used in environmental governance.
Peng Chi-ming stated that digitalization and sustainable transformation are common global issues, and Taiwan, Estonia, and Japan have great room for cooperation in these areas.
During his exchange with Koike, Peng mentioned that he views her as a role model for environmental administration, pointing out that during her time as Environment Minister, Koike successfully promoted "Cool Biz" and "Warm Biz," transforming complex carbon reduction expertise into easily understandable living guidelines for the public, and promoting the concept of "cherishing goods and avoiding waste" internationally. Her foresight continues to profoundly influence Taiwan's environmental policies today.
The itinerary also included observing the SpoGomi event, which will be officially introduced to Taiwan to learn how to promote nationwide waste reduction through "gamification"; and visiting cases such as the SKWAT KAMEARI ART CENTRE, which reuses idle spaces, as an important reference for Taiwan's promotion of public participation in environmental protection.
Peng Chi-ming pointed out that Taiwan is willing to be a "de-risking partner" for global enterprises and governments, and plans to release 25% of its public service human resources through AI in the future, investing them in innovative governance. Taiwan and Japan are both on the front lines of climate change, and will continue to deepen cooperation in the future, working together to create a sustainable global virtuous cycle.
