Shisa.AI Showcases AI Innovation at DIG Shibuya and Shibuya Creative Tech 2026
We were honored to participate in this landmark event where the worlds of art and technology converge in the heart of Tokyo.
Shisa.ai is honored to announce its participation in Shibuya Creative Tech and DIG Shibuya, a premier multi-day takeover of downtown Shibuya where the worlds of art and technology converge. As one of the few Tokyo-based startups invited to this prestigious showcase, Shisa.ai joined an initiative organized by the City of Shibuya and Shibuya Startups Support. This partnership underscores the city's role as a global innovation hub.
The intensive program provided Shisa.ai with a high-profile platform to engage with the global investment community, including 1:1 meetings with venture capitalists from both Tokyo and Silicon Valley. Shisa.ai also pitched at leading startup accelerators, including CIC Tokyo and Shochiku Ventures, culminating in a live pitch contest at the iconic Shibuya Scramble. The event concluded with an exclusive networking session, and following a featured interview with NHK during the program, Shisa.ai remains committed to its mission of developing world-class, Japanese-centered multilingual AI.
Shisa.ai is deeply grateful to the City of Shibuya and Shibuya Startups Support for the opportunity to participate in this landmark event. We look forward to further collaboration with our local partners as we continue to scale our operations and contribute to Tokyo’s vibrant technological ecosystem.
