Tokyo, May 26, 2026 — Workato K.K., the Japanese subsidiary of Workato Inc., provider of the industry-leading agentic orchestration platform, announced today its membership as a Senior Partner in the Generative AI Utilization & Popularization Association (GUGA).
GUGA is a prominent Japanese AI platform aimed at restructuring industry through the societal implementation of generative AI. It promotes various initiatives including the 'Generative AI Passport' certification, 'GenAI HR Awards,' and a database of generative AI use cases, in collaboration with government agencies and other stakeholders. It is one of Japan's largest AI industry organizations, with over 300 member organizations.
Workato supports GUGA’s vision and will contribute as a Senior Partner.
■ Background and Purpose
GUGA members have made strides in improving AI literacy through programs like the 'Generative AI Passport.' Workato believes that to leverage global practical knowledge effectively, Japanese companies must solve the next-stage challenges:
1. Architecting appropriate AI foundations: Designing operations that integrate data, systems, people, and processes beyond individual tools.
2. Practical thinking for safe and effective AI deployment: Implementing patterns for security, governance, and workflow control.
3. Building collaborative models with Agentic AI: Designing orchestration where AI autonomously judges and executes tasks in collaboration with humans.
In the US and other advanced regions, enterprise AI orchestration—where AI agents autonomously operate across systems—has become standard. Workato will provide GUGA members with expertise derived from over 12,000 global implementations.
■ Value Offered by Workato
1. Disseminating cutting-edge AI use cases: Sharing systemic insights from US/European enterprises in manufacturing, finance, and healthcare.
2. Providing architecture design know-how: Sharing frameworks for system integration, data connectivity, and workflow design, including citizen development.
3. Educating on AI governance and security: Providing content on risk management, compliance, and ROI evaluation for AI agents.
Allan Teng, Representative Director and President of Workato K.K., commented: 'We are proud to support Japanese enterprises in their AI adoption journeys with our global best practices.'
