The Institute for New Era Strategy

The Institute for New Era Strategy (INES) is a prominent Japanese think tank and strategic consultancy specializing in policy development and strategic planning for the "new era." Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Tokyo, the institute operates across several critical sectors, with a significant focus on medical and healthcare policy, energy, and agriculture. INES provides research, policy recommendations, and consulting services to both government agencies and private sector organizations, aiming to foster innovation and systemic reform. In the healthcare domain, the institute is particularly active in promoting medical technology innovation, drug discovery policy, and the modernization of Japan's healthcare infrastructure. While not a drug developer itself, its work significantly influences the regulatory and commercial landscape for life science companies in the Japanese market.
