Tagline

Be a Connector.

Diversity creates value.

When you bring different things together, the result is innovation and ideas the world has never seen.

Doing the expected leads to expected results.

Change is not linear.

It can be uncomfortable.

Being different takes a commitment.

To see the value in diverse perspectives.

To see the new possibility in combining technologies.

To put companies together that drive innovation.

We believe in the power of different.

It’s how we’ve always operated.

We combine ideas in a way that turns differences into strength.

And aim for new solutions that help move the world forward.

Mission

To expand the realm of perception by combining technologies.

We will expand the limits of what people can experience, with breakthrough ideas that combine technologies, and implement innovation that grows the possibilities of perception.

Value

1. Start with the unknown.

Innovation allows you to break new ground. So, when you find an unprecedented idea, it’s not a reason to believe you can’t do something. It’s the starting line.

2. Think as you go.

No matter the type of work, just start trying. Consider your approach on the fly as you work. Being able to stay free and flexible, without being held back by rules or theories is our unique strength as an independent company.

3. Change is evolution.

Change means leaving behind the way things have been done. After you move past uncertainty, new discoveries await. Being able to evolve starts with change. Change isn’t something to fear. Enjoy it. That’s our mindset.

4. Combine differences.

When you combine different things, you often get surprising results. It’s how you create value that never existed before. Bringing together different people, technologies or companies is how we operate. Having compact, agile and diverse businesses is our strength.

5. Challenge relentlessly.

Pursue every challenge our partners face with tenacity and care until the job is done. Refusing to give up, with optimism, is our DNA.
