DI supports business creation and innovation at large companies that strive to drive the industry forward and develop new industries. Through our company’s core business production services, we continuously help companies solve social problems using the power of business. We recognize that global data related to new technology and innovation holds the key to these solutions. As such, astamuse’s initiatives, which collects and provides data in a completely new way, aligns with our vision. We have decided to form a partnership with astamuse because we strongly believed that our two companies could complement each other and create multiplier effects in customer acquisition and provided value.

It then consolidates the data, sorting it into 176 unique growth areas and 105 distinct social problems, and publishes it online in an easy-to-understand format. This analysis focuses on future trends and how companies can achieve their visions for a better future, and allows astamuse to support innovation by providing companies with clear and objective information that guides investment in technology and research, businesses, human resources, and management.

To build a better future, we think it is necessary to cooperate with many players who share our vision. Both DI and astamuse have formulated solutions for various industries and social problems, and have built track record of creating businesses. We will cooperate to boost the value of our existing businesses and provide new innovative services.

We plan to jointly provide business creation and innovation support to each other’s customer bases. In addition, we look to actively promote personnel exchange, develop new integrated services, and expand the ways in which we provide services as outlined below.

  • Advance business creation rooted in business ideas
    • Develop business creation support services by organically combining DI’s strength (investigating new business feasibility on the scale of several hundred billion yen by researching social problems and industry framework) with astamuse’s strength in data that nurtures new technology and innovation.
  • Increase the accuracy of business creation and growth
    • Create a framework to increase the probability of new business success when pushing ahead to implement a business creation plan with partners and through collaboration with companies that share vision.
