Business

Our business is focused on leveraging generative AI and digital technology to build meaningful human connections. Together with our partners, we co-develop digital systems in a spirit of cooperation. We apply generative AI to streamline both our learning process and software development.

As AI progress accelerates, our capabilities expand daily. However, our core guiding principles remain democratic cooperativism and Catholic Social Teaching (CST)—principles our members actively discuss to keep our mission grounded.

By building reliable digital infrastructures that support modern organizations, we aim to humbly contribute behind the scenes. The name TNG stands for TsuNaGu (繋ぐ), meaning “to connect.” We believe that fostering human connections is our most meaningful contribution, a mission now amplified by generative AI.

Our Co-op Ecosystem

TNG is a worker cooperative comprising 12 full members and 1 auditor. Rather than following a traditional corporate hierarchy, we are united by a shared commitment to democratic self-management guided by Catholic Social Teaching. We reject materialist reductionism and seek an authentic alignment with truth, goodness, and beauty. Whether performing complex engineering or basic AI integration, we apply the core principles of solidarity and subsidiarity to all of our work.

13 Members.

Equal Dignity, Equal Voice.

Because labor precedes capital, our governance is grounded in the irreducible dignity of the human person. Every member shares equal responsibility in discerning the common good of our cooperative.
