Tokyo Institute for Global Economy (TIGE) is an independent, Tokyo- and Chiba-based think-tank committed to advancing rigorous, forward-looking analysis of the rapidly changing world business environment. In an era marked by technological disruption, geopolitical uncertainty, and accelerating climate imperatives, we empower businesses, universities, public institutions, and individuals to navigate globalization with clarity and confidence.
Our mission is three-fold: (1) Insight—generate original research that illuminates emerging trends in trade, finance, innovation, and sustainable development; (2) Impact—translate evidence into pragmatic policy recommendations and corporate strategies; and (3) Integration—foster cross-sector collaboration that multiplies the benefits of open, resilient, and inclusive global markets.
TIGE’s services span the full research cycle and business data compilcation. We undertake bespoke policy briefs, white papers, board-level strategy reports, business indicator compilation; design and maintain big-data platforms that trace complex global supply chains and their risks; construct composite indicators that benchmark competitiveness and socio-environmental performance; and host executive workshops that convert data power into actionable roadmaps.
Our team unites internationally recognized economists, seasoned business leaders, and cutting-edge data scientists—many of whom hold appointments at leading universities or have led Fortune 500 strategy units. Their combined expertise spans high-level economic modelling, artificial-intelligence & bigdata-driven analytics, international business and global governance. This diversity allows us to craft solutions that are both technically sound and immediately implementable.
Anchored in Tokyo yet networked worldwide, TIGE catalyses industry–academia–government linkages through joint research consortia, visiting-scholar programs, and policy roundtables. By amplifying these connections, we aim to accelerate sustainable growth, enhance economic resilience, and ensure that globalization delivers shared prosperity. In short, TIGE stands at the frontier where rigorous scholarship meets real-world challenges—turning insight into impact for a healthier global economy.
