Tokyo, Japan—Tokyo's month-long technology extravaganza, SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024, concluded. 

It drew over 610,000 attendees and featured the city's first public demonstration of a flying car.

The event, held across four venues in the Tokyo Bay Area, brought together 434 startups from 82 countries and territories, with 60% of exhibitors hailing from outside Japan.

"I was moved to see such an era had arrived," said one attendee, watching the electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) vehicle complete seven flights over four days.
