The Company separated from Kyoei Life Insurance Company (now The Gibraltar Life Insurance Co., Ltd.) in 1964. We have since been expanding our businesses to the public and private sector, including the financial industry, instead of just serving the insurance industry.

Throughout its history, INES has adhered to its corporate philosophy embodying three key principles: creation, harmony and challenge. We have been taking on challenges in new areas in anticipation of future changes in the business environment, creating new solutions and striving to help create a wealthy, safe and secure society through our business activities.

In the 2026 Mid-term Business Plan that started in April 2024, we set out our vision of being a company that continues to take on challenges and evolve. Guided by this vision, we are pressing ahead with our goal of being a DX-oriented company that makes the most of AI. We have proactively increased our strategic investments and alliances that will form the foundation of our business in the future, including the development of next-generation WebRings, as medium- to long-term growth drivers.

In addition, we will further strengthen our business in the public sector, which is our core business, at the same time as investing in growth areas. This fiscal year, we will steadily complete the standardization of local government information systems, which will begin in earnest in the second half, in our attempt to maximize revenues and achieve the highest performance ever.

The INES Group will press ahead together with its shareholders, striving to return profits to them. We will continue to live up to our stakeholders' expectations and dedicate our best efforts to achieving sustainable growth.

We hope we can count on your continued support.
