- Institution for a Global Society Corporation operates primarily in the HR technology and education technology sectors, providing AI-driven assessment and development solutions. The company’s core products and services include GROW360, an AI-enabled 360-degree evaluation tool designed to scientifically measure the competencies and traits of employees for organization development, predictive recruitment, training, promotion, and optimization. It also offers Ai GROW, a program aimed at measuring and fostering students’ non-cognitive skills primarily in educational institutions, and Grow Academy, which provides training for users preparing for the TOEFL test. These services target large corporations, public institutions, international organizations, and educational markets, predominantly operating within Japan but expanding into international markets such as India and Uzbekistan.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Tokyo, Institution for a Global Society focuses on enabling self-awareness and continuous self-improvement through unbiased assessment solutions aimed at responding to the evolving demands of Society 5.0. It operates business segments in Human Resources, Education, and Web3/Platform businesses, with Human Resources being the largest revenue contributor through comprehensive human capital consulting, evaluation systems, and digital transformation training.
Recent major developments include a capital and business alliance with Plutus Group announced in November 2025, enhancing its human capital due diligence capabilities with the GROW360+ platform. The company has launched several new products and service offerings over the past two years, including the “First GROW” assessment service for understanding children’s temperament launched in July 2025, and the “Ai GROW India” educational program fully implemented in the Indian market since a METI-supported pilot in 2025. Additionally, IGS introduced “GROW360+,” an advanced 360-degree evaluation tool for measuring human capital ROI, reinforcing its position in human resources and educational assessments.
Institution for a Global Society also undertakes collaborative international projects in STEM education assessment with organizations like ADB and ERIA, expanding its educational impact beyond Japan. These strategic moves reflect the company’s commitment to innovation in AI-powered human resource and educational development solutions, supporting workforce transformation and educational effectiveness globally.
