# :tada: Welcome to GROWI
GROWI is an internal wiki & knowledge base tool for corporations and individuals.
With GROWI, members can easily share and edit information in a company, university seminar, or circle.
Casually writing down the information you know and editing it together can **reduce tacit knowledge within the team**.
Let's increase the amount of information shared on a daily base!
※Feel free to edit and use this page as the top page of the wiki.
