The Matsushita Institute of Government and Management (Japanese: 公益財団法人松下幸之助記念志財団; MIGM) is a human resources development organisation founded by Kōnosuke Matsushita. It counts many Japanese politicians and business leaders among its graduates.
The institute was established by Panasonic founder Kōnosuke Matsushita in 1979. It promotes Matsushita’s ideas; its “basic principle” is “deep love” of Japan and its people. Its educational programme includes meditation and the martial arts. Funded by an endowment from Matsushita’s personal capital, the institute was intended to cultivate young leaders to guide Japan into the 21st century. The institute is unique both in Japan and worldwide because of its focus on training young people to win elections.
The organisation serves as an elite training ground for future politicians.
Graduates include former Japanese prime minister Yoshihiko Noda, and Liberal Democratic Party president Sanae Takaichi.[5]
