OUR LOCATIONS

First steps towards a global reach

Our studio creates a new project every year on a global scale, leveraging the experience and processes we have built so far. In this global environment, our ambition is to set up a wide reach by implementing footholds around the world in the next 2 years.

Amazing Asia is the first geography we're exploring with a fantastic team of entrepreneurs to support us on a local scale both in Hong Kong and Singapore. 

US and Middle East opening soon! Stay tuned...

We live unprecedented times of change: explosion of the number of people gaining access to new technologies, development of A.I, augmented humans, governance distribution through the blockchain. This long lasting revolution impacts the way we live, the way we buy, the way we create value.

In this world of change where disruption is key, we believe that tomorrow’s champions will be the ones fostering innovation through lean, iterative processes and leveraging strategic assets of critical partners in a co-building process. 

Making the best of the two worlds we also launch highly innovative startups with corporate partners, gaining access to their R&D, powerful market access, and funding support.
