We are Dream Incubator Southeast Asia (DI SEA), a wholly-owned branch of Tokyo-based Dream Incubator Inc. (DI) in Southeast Asia. DI opened its first Southeast Asian office in Vietnam in 2007, making it the regional headquarters for Southeast Asia.

Dream Incubator (DI), founded in 2000 by Koichi Hori, former President of the Boston Consulting Group in Japan, was established with the ambitious goal of creating 100 companies as impactful as Honda and Sony. For nearly 25 years, DI has adhered to this vision, employing a unique business model that blends strategic consulting with incubation—investing in both funds and startups within and outside Japan. This model aims to resolve social issues while fostering new businesses.

DI operates with the mission to “Create Businesses and Change Societies.” The company’s approach, termed “Business Producing,” focuses on building large, impactful businesses that drive societal change. This concept aligns with sustainability, as solving social issues through business can amplify both business growth and societal impact. Success in this area also facilitates partnerships and may encourage governments to adopt supportive policies. Over the years, DI’s dedication has earned it a strong reputation among clients, partners, and governments.

DI enhances its offerings with three new service lines. “Industry Producing” focuses on creating value from the concept stage, “Business Produce Installation” aids in strategy execution, and “Global SX” aims to expand DI’s “Business Producing” globally. Additionally, the “Technology & Amplify” (T&A) service harnesses technology to amplify business value, offering comprehensive services from designing industry models to business expansion, alliances, and leveraging advanced technology for clients’ growth.

DI works closely with clients and partners, sharing both opportunities and risks, and is exploring new fee structures, such as success fees and revenue sharing, to accelerate its growth and profitability.
