Tokyo Future Tour
To date, 140 companies have signed on to participate in Tokyo Future Tour, a cross-industry effort to show how different types of new mobility will help create an exciting future. Tokyo Future Tour will feature the following five events.
1. Immersive Theater–Welcome to the Tokyo of the future!

Four interactive areas on the themes of life/emergency/play/food and their interplay with mobility will dynamically showcase how new mobility will impact life in the future.
“LIFE & MOBILITY” will feature, in a thrilling musical-like performance, multiple forms of new mobility and the roles they will play in transportation and cityscapes of the future.
“EMERGENCY & MOBILITY” will vividly depict how new mobility will be able to assist people in a natural disaster-prone country like Japan.

This event will serve as a springboard for startups and top-tier companies to come together to create the future of mobility and will feature the Pitch Contest & Award and Business Matching Events programs.
