What Inclusive does

INCLUSIVE Holdings is a Tokyo-headquartered public holding company (TYO:7078, Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers) that operates four business segments through wholly-owned subsidiaries: media and content services (digital advertising operations, SNS management, media DX support for publishers), branding and production (Orange & Partners, which absorbed George Creative Company in June 2026 to consolidate branded placemaking and design consulting), cuisine and food (Shimogamo Saryo, a 1856-founded Kyoto kaiseki restaurant with Michelin one-star recognition and a growing e-commerce channel), and space/new business (LAND INSIGHT, which provides satellite data analytics for municipal agricultural administration under the Hojo DX service, deployed across 120+ municipalities).

The group transitioned from an operating company to a holding company structure in October 2025, divested its newsletter business to SNS Library, and established a Chief AI Officer role in June 2026 to coordinate AI strategy across subsidiaries. Underlying technology includes AI-powered satellite imagery analysis for agricultural field surveys, the ORANGE-AI generative AI tool used in creative planning, and regional media platforms across approximately 10 Japanese regions. The company serves local governments, real estate developers and hospitality operators, media publishers, and premium food consumers, with strategic emphasis shifting from declining legacy media monetization toward regional revitalization, GovTech, and food IP commercialization.
