The top 8 startups of the ASEAN SPARKS Elevate take the stage at the Sustainable High City Tech (SusHi Tech) Tokyo 2026, held at Tokyo Big Sight, to spotlight cleantech innovation and explore opportunities for strategic collaboration.

The event was conducted under the Enhancement of Clean Energy Technology Ecosystem and Its Connectivity in ASEAN Project, implemented by the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and the United Nations Development Organization (UNIDO), supported by the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF). 

Clean technology, or cleantech, serves as an emerging solution to advance ASEAN’s transition towards a low-carbon future. With the 8th ASEAN Energy Outlook (AEO8) estimating USD 150 billion in annual investment needed to overcome the challenges faced by cleantech innovators, this participation offers a timely opportunity to bridge this gap.
