Japan Society of Competitive Intelligence was established as a non-profit organization (NPO) in February, 2008, in recognition of the growing need for Competitive Intelligence (CI) research in Japan and for cooperating with US, EU and China, such as SCIP (Strategic and Competitive Intelligence Professionals) and the Institute for Competitive Intelligence in Germany. SCIP Japan was established by Kenji Maeda, former Commissioner of Police of Metropolitan Tokyo in April, 2001, but its activity as the Japanese branch of SCIP became difficult in 2006. As the result, Japan Society of Competitive Intelligence was established in February, 2008 with the mission of furthering research on CI in Japan and disseminating the results.
