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.

Product Demo: KiWi AI Energy Operating System

A full walkthrough of KiWi's AI Energy Operating System (AI-EDC) — the platform that ingests real-time data from generation, behind-the-meter storage, and per-site consumption across hundreds of distributed locations, then dispatches green power every 15 minutes to where it is most needed. The demo shows live dashboards, multi-site visibility, blockchain-based green energy certification, and how AI dispatch turns demand-side intelligence into measurable carbon and cost savings for retail chains, restaurant groups, and commercial sites.

Founder Intro: Dr. Steve Huang on Building KiWi New Energy

KiWi New Energy founder Dr. Steve Huang tells the company's origin story — from his early years at Nvidia and two decades across solar manufacturing, silicon wafers, and microinverters, to the realization that the missing piece of the energy transition is not more hardware but an AI dispatch layer for the grid. He shares why KiWi starts from the demand side, how the company earned rare control-layer access to Tesla Powerwall in Taiwan, and the vision for scaling green power subscriptions across Asia and beyond.
