Our Service
Asia's Edge, Global Impact.
INSPIRATION & INNOVATION
At the heart of our Inspiration & Innovation services is real-world expertise. Every program is shaped by our partners and experts who’ve spent decades leading “smart city” digital transformation initiatives, building tech startups, launching AI ventures, and navigating complex digital change across Asia.
We don’t just deliver inspiration - we help clients act on it. Whether you're exploring new markets, shaping your next product, or rethinking your business model, we offer grounded, actionable insights built on hard-earned experience.
Why Asia?
The World's Innovation Lab.
Asia isn’t just witnessing the future - it’s building it. Home to over 4.7 billion people, nearly 60% of the global population, and contributing more than 40% of global GDP, Asia has become the world’s most powerful engine for innovation.
Rising wealth, digital-first behaviors, and a culture of rapid adaptation have created a high-velocity environment where new technologies aren’t just piloted - they’re pressure-tested at scale.
In China, a tech-savvy, mobile-first population rapidly adopts and refines new technologies, from super-app ecosystems to AI-driven services, fueling agile product development and innovation business models. Southeast Asia’s fast-growing digital economies are testing grounds for inventive businesses that adapt to varying levels of market sophistication. Japan’s leadership in animation and content creation, and South Korea’s global influence in entertainment and gaming, reflect the region’s deep creative and technological capacity to shape global consumer trends and digital culture.
What makes Asia unique isn’t just its scale - it’s the speed, agility, and diversity of its innovation ecosystems. This is where bold ideas are not only born but refined through real-world complexity, giving them a level of resilience and readiness few other regions can offer. For global leaders, Asia is more than an inspiration. It’s a strategic laboratory for discovering what works, understanding why it works (or why it failed), and translating those perspective into actionable, cross-market impact.

From global submits to intimate leadership panels, we’re often invited to share what’s unfolding across Asia’s markets and tech frontiers. If you’re looking to spark fresh thinking at your next event, we’ll bring the stories, shifts, and signals that matter.
Content Creation & Learning Programs
Content is our powerful lever to drive changes, break down silos, and activate innovation at scale. Keeping leaders informed isn’t enough - true transformation happens when ideas are clearly communicated and embraced across every level of the organization.
As content experts with a proven track record, we craft media and learning experiences that deliver measurable business impact. Our work aligns minds, sparks curiosity, and empowers teams to act. From turnkey podcast production to tailored product education and internal learning programs, every piece is designed with intent - for the right audience, scenario, and objective.

Editorial content & trend-scraping report as a service
We produce tailored editorial content, seasonal newsletters, and trend-scraping reports that give global executives a clear view of market shifts and internal innovation progress. Unlike generic industry reports, these internal publications are built around your own strategic priorities. They serve as a powerful tool to spotlight initiatives, align teams, and engage the C-suite with relevance and impact.
Curriculum & training program design
We equip organizations with custom learning journeys and develop training curriculum, certification tracks and product tutorials that build innovation capability, cultural fluency, and strategic agility, while simplifying complex offerings, accelerating adoption, and empowering sales teams. For example, Exponential E-com is our crash course that cuts through the noise and helps teams master the real dynamics of today’s e-commerce landscape.
Immersive Experience
Innovation needs context.
Through hands-on, face-to-face engagements, we place executives at the center of Asia’s most disruptive ecosystems. These experiences go far beyond observation - participants gain firsthand insights, engage in closed-door conversations, surface blind spots, and build a deeper understanding of the cultural, operational, and strategic dynamics behind both success and failure.
Inspiration workshops
We run workshops that challenge assumptions, spark new thinking, and align teams - rooted in Asian market insights, emerging tech, and industry shifts. Each session is a co-creative space to explore what’s possible in your home market and shape bold, forward-looking strategies.
Case Study
Eyes on the Edge.
Leapfroging innovation - inspired by China. We led workshops with a global retailer to decode radical innovations in China and rethink their next chapter of retail.
Immersion trip to Asia
We curate immersive field visits that offer you rare access to Asia’s dynamic ecosystems. We’ve taken business leaders and scholars from China’s livestreaming KOL factories and EV powerhouses to South Korea’s e-sport arenas and even North Korean people’s communes. The unparalleled trips are designed to shift perspectives, spark ideas, and reveal what no boardroom or screen ever could. It’s your front-row seat to the region’s future.
We design hands-on simulations that let teams step into the shoes of their customers -placing an order, unboxing a product, visiting a store, or speaking with frontline staff. Experiencing the journey from the customer’s lens uncovers cultural nuances, unmet needs, and moments of friction that are often invisible from behind the desk. It's a powerful way to rethink touchpoints, sharpen differentiation, and build truly resonant experiences.
Customer journey simulation
Transformation Design
We help companies go from idea to action. Whether it's launching a proof of concept, setting up an innovation hub, or mapping a step-by-step transformation roadmap, our work focuses on outcomes. We dig deep into what makes business models succeed or stall, and help clients build innovation programs that are designed for impact - not just theater.
Proof of Concept (POC) development & launch
We turn ideas into tangible pilots - testing new propositions in-market with real users to validate assumptions and reduce risk before scaling.
Accelerator/Innovation Hub Setup
From concept to launch, we help you design and operationalize innovation hubs and accelerator programs that drive experimentation and deliver real outcomes. With deep local networks across startups, universities, and institutions, we build plug-and-play models that embed your team into Asia’s innovation ecosystem, fostering collaboration, speed, and lasting impact.
