International Non-governmental Organization PEACE. (ingo PEACE., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a partnership agreement with globally renowned historian and futurist Professor Yuval Noah Harari.
This collaborative agreement is based on the shared values of both parties, aiming to build a cooperative relationship for the future in order to realize a “Global Coexistence Society.”
From “imagined order” to real order. Moving forward toward a co-created global society.
