Enageed

Enageed Co., Ltd. is a Japanese EdTech company focused on developing educational content and human resource training programs. The firm was established on October 1, 2012, by Mitsuaki Ujiie, who currently serves as the CEO. Before founding Enageed, Ujiie worked in planning and sales at Trenders Inc., where a successful marketing campaign that significantly boosted a product's sales taught him that targeted actions could create substantial market impact. This experience, combined with insights from a trip to India about the necessity of structural societal changes for providing opportunities, motivated him to establish Enageed.

The company operates in the education and corporate training markets, providing its services to both educational institutions and businesses. For the education sector, Enageed offers a next-generation career education program for junior high and high schools, which has been adopted by over 900 institutions across Japan. This program, named "ENAGEED CORE," is designed for use in periods of integrated study and inquiry, aiming to cultivate students' ability to think and learn independently. The company also offers "ENAGEED BASE," supplementary material designed to motivate students in their learning of core subjects. For corporate clients, Enageed provides "ENAGEED for Biz," a human resource development program and career management system. This service focuses on fostering proactive and independent employees to enhance organizational productivity and growth. Revenue is generated from the sale and implementation of these educational and training content packages.

Enageed's core offering is a growth support platform that helps individuals develop essential life and thinking skills. For schools, the platform provides tools for teachers to grasp student growth and deliver effective instruction. For businesses, the system visualizes and analyzes team and organization status to foster a culture of proactive engagement. A key feature across its services is the emphasis on developing a "purposeful mindset," "realization skills," and the ability to "switch perspectives." The company supports implementation with teacher training, instructional manuals, and videos to ensure the programs are delivered effectively. A significant milestone was reached in May 2018 when the number of schools using ENAGEED in Japan surpassed 100. By April 2023, this number had grown to over 800.
