Disaster Prevention Tech Startup Conference 2026

The Disaster Prevention Tech Startup Conference 2026 is a conference focused on startups and emerging technologies addressing disaster prevention, disaster response, and climate-related challenges in Japan.

Now in its sixth edition, the conference brings together perspectives from government, academia, and the private sector to explore how technology can strengthen society's resilience against natural disasters.

This year's program highlights the potential of AI-powered disaster information analysis, satellite data, and drones in improving disaster preparedness and emergency response. Sessions will also examine the future of Japan's disaster management system in connection with the establishment of the new Disaster Management Agency.

The conference will feature presentations and discussions involving organizations such as the University of Tokyo, Spectee, Tengejin, Liberaware, and INSPIRATION PLUS.

Why Attend

For startups, the conference offers insights into Japan's growing disaster-prevention technology sector and opportunities to understand the challenges and needs of government agencies, businesses, and communities.

For investors and corporations, it provides an opportunity to discover emerging technologies in AI-driven disaster management, satellite-based infrastructure monitoring, and drone applications, as well as learn how these solutions are being applied to real-world challenges.

For international participants, the conference offers a closer look at Japan's approach to disaster preparedness, an area where the country's experience with earthquakes, typhoons, and other natural disasters has created significant demand for technological innovation.

The discussions on international expansion, standardization, and cross-border collaboration are also particularly relevant for those interested in bringing Japanese disaster-prevention technologies to global markets.
