GMOグローバルサイン・ホールディングス positioned AI as a key growth area, making a strategic subsidiary and changing its corporate name in 2026. This will strengthen coordination between its existing electronic authentication, cloud and DX businesses and its AI strategy.
GMOグローバルサイン・ホールディングス is a company that develops cloud infrastructure and DX businesses centered on electronic authentication and electronic contracts, with implementation experience in more than 230 regions as a world-class authentication provider. As a core group company of GMOインターネットグループ, it provides foundational businesses supporting reliability and security.
Its history began with its founding in 1993. After expanding hosting and domain-related services, it was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market in 2005, and continued expanding overseas and strengthening security. From 2011 onward, it shifted to cloud businesses, pursuing brand unification and stronger market presence while developing new services for the digital society.
From 2026, the company pursued a strategy of focusing resources on the AI field. It acquired shares in ストラテジット, which develops a data integration service connecting SaaS applications, making it a consolidated subsidiary, then changed its corporate name to GMO AIコネクト and positioned it at the core of its AI strategy. In connection with this, ownership changed from GMOデジタルラボ to GMOコマース in July 2026.
