The World Bank Institute for Economic Development Tokyo Hub is proud to be building a growing coalition of leading research and policy institutions across Asia.
In collaboration with partners such as the JICA Ogata Sadako Research Institute for Peace and Development, the Institute of Developing Economies at JETRO (IDE-JETRO), the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), and the Japanese Association for Development Economics (JADE), we are co-creating research, exchanging policy insights, and advancing the frontiers of knowledge on critical issues—including climate resilience, air quality, economic mobility, and the future of AI for development.
