Malmö delegation joins SusHi Tech Tokyo and G-NETS

On 27-29 April the City of Malmö, Sweden, attended SusHi Tech Tokyo together with a Nordic delegation led by Business Sweden and Nordic Innovation House. SusHi Tech, which first launched in 2023 by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, is Asia’s largest global innovation conference. Their aim is to foster solutions for sustainable cities together with innovators from around the world. 
From Malmö, two startups who are launching their business in Japan joined the delegation. Imvi Labs, who develops VR-tools for functional sight and reading training, is now collaborating with several schools in Japan. OpenPoint, who develops a platform for digital versions of physical assets and environments, has recently opened an office in Fukuoka. Also joining the delegation was Malmö’s Japan Business and Innovation Hub, which works to promote strong innovation ties between Japan and Sweden. 
Held in parallel with the innovation conference was the City Leaders’ Summit at G-NETS – the Global Network for Sustainability – where city leaders, policymakers, and experts from more than 50 cities around the globe proactively exchanged insights and skills to spark collaboration within sustainable urban development. Malmö’s Director of Business and External Relations, Mr. Micael Nord, participated in a panel on decarbonization, showcasing the city’s active collaboration with civil society and the business sector in tackling climate change. This marks the third time that the City of Malmö has attended the City Leader’s Summit, and the second time at SusHi Tech Tokyo.
