Official Website: https://sushitech-startup.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/ ■ Background for Exhibition In recent years, with the increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters due to climate change, and the growing complexity of global supply chains, strengthening crisis management systems for companies and local governments on a regular basis has become an urgent task. In particular, advancing information gathering and analysis to grasp "what is happening where" in real-time is a common challenge for all organizations. Spectee, with its mission to "visualize crises," has provided solutions where AI instantly integrates and analyzes diverse data sources such as social media, weather, traffic, and river cameras. Currently, in addition to private companies, local governments, government agencies, and media organizations in Japan, it is also promoting expansion into the Global South, including Indonesia and the Philippines. SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 is a global innovation event where startups, investors, large corporations, and cities from around the world gather under the philosophy of "realizing sustainable cities with cutting-edge technology." Spectee decided to exhibit at this event to broadly communicate the potential of technology for societal challenges like disaster prevention and crisis management, both domestically and internationally. ■ What is "Most Engaged Startup" at SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026? The "Most Engaged Startup" award is presented to startups that, during SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026, were particularly recognized for their outstanding number of business meetings, engagement with visitors, and proactive efforts in matching. Only 5 companies are selected from the largest-ever pool of approximately 750 exhibitors. Throughout the exhibition, Spectee engaged in active business negotiations and collaborative discussions with many domestic and international partners, investors, and administrative agencies. The innovation that AI brings to disaster prevention and supply chain crisis management, as well as its potential for global expansion, attracted broad interest from visitors, leading to this award selection.
