About Us

We envision the potential significance and value needed for the future of society, and deliver solid results through co-creation with diverse stakeholders.

We are a business co-creation partner that delivers solid results through co-creation with diverse stakeholders by visualizing the invisible value (intellectual capital) of a company that does not appear on the balance sheet.

For more than 25 years since its establishment, ICMG Group has been a business co-creation partner for Japanese companies based in Tokyo, Singapore, Bangalore, Abu Dhabi, Nairobi, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Stockholm, providing services such as strategy development, execution, leadership development, business investment, venture capital, M&A, UI UX design, engineering, recruiting, and joint venture establishment and management based on intellectual capital assessment, the source of a company's value. ICMG Group is a business co-creation partner for Japanese companies that is committed to results and co-creates with its clients in a comprehensive manner, including intellectual capital evaluation, strategy development, leadership development, business investment, venture capital, M&A, UI UX design, engineering, recruiting, and joint venture establishment and management. ICMG Group's core value is Intellectual Capital Management, which has always visualized the invisible value of companies and organizations, envisioned their future vision (Purpose), and realized their value creation.

CEO Message

The ICMG Group is now making great strides. With diverse partners in Japan and abroad, we have launched various businesses to realize social implementation, such as ICMG Digital, which is responsible for digital innovation, ICMG Ventures, which co-creates ecosystems through investment, and ICMG Impact, which is for realizing a world of co-creation. We have taken a big step forward from ICMG to “ICMG Group”.

Since our founding, we have consistently worked with our clients to complete projects based on intellectual capital management that go beyond strategic concepts to implementation. We have expanded our service line to include UX design, engineering, and venture capital in order to not only solve social issues with our clients, but also to lead the way into the future. We are currently attracting talents from all over the world who share our path, and many product designers and engineers with proven track records are joining ICMG Group one after another. The participation of these talents has allowed us to build co-creation relationships with members who have diverse values, and to provide practical work style transformation experiences to our clients.

ICMG Group will continue to expand its business globally. We have been expanding our business in India and Southeast Asia from our hubs in Singapore and Tokyo, and we intend to expand into the Middle East and Africa in the future. In the Far East of Japan, opportunities are spreading westward, with the Global South being a focus area. We will build strong ties with entrepreneurs who are active in the Global South and organically connect with the various values that inherently exist in each region of Japan to create new value.

ICMG Group is in a period of significant growth, and as the leader of the group, I will do my utmost to ensure that all of our stakeholders, both internally and externally, are running toward the realization of Purpose with passion. When people are passionate about creating something, when there is an overflow of passion and curiosity, their power is multiplied many times over. People have always been and will continue to be the growth driver for ICMG Group, and our belief in the power of “Willpower,” our strong conviction and will, has not changed since our founding. As new talent continues to join the ICMG Group, we will create a place where new synergies will occur one after another, transcending various cultures and backgrounds, and where value creation will take place based on active dialogue.

We look forward to ICMG Group continuing to be a “practitioner” with domestic and international partners based on the “Intellectual Capital” we have cultivated over the years.
