KiWi at SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026: Bringing the AI Energy Operating System to Japan

From April 27–29, KiWi New Energy joined SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 at Booth B246 as part of the Taiwan startup pavilion, showcasing the AI Energy Datacenter (AI-EDC) to Japanese retailers, utilities, and global climate-tech partners. Three days of live demos, conversations with FamilyMart, Decathlon, Tesla Powerwall, Nippon Solar, GreenPhard, Plug and Play, and dozens of Japanese enterprises confirmed the same signal we have seen across Asia — multi-site retailers and SMEs need an operating layer that turns scattered solar, storage, and demand into a single, dispatchable green portfolio.
