    Accenture has agreed to acquire Yumemi, a leading provider of digital services and products based in Japan, which will significantly enhance its capabilities to design and launch products for clients with speed and at scale.

    Accenture has agreed to acquire Yumemi, a leading provider of digital services and products based in Japan, which will significantly enhance its capabilities to design and launch products for clients with speed and at scale.

    Founded in 2000, Yumemi has designed and developed an extensive variety of digital products for over 600 companies spanning all major industries, reaching 60 million monthly active users globally. By deploying its signature ‘design engineering' methodology, Yumemi's designers and engineers work in unified teams, enabling significantly rapid development and delivery of innovative digital products. Yumemi's team of approximately 400 professionals in Japan will join Accenture Song, Accenture's tech-powered creative group.

    Digital products are increasingly vital for companies to connect with customers and maintain relevance. Accenture sees this as a growth opportunity, anticipating a US$1755 billion global digital transformation market by 2028. In Japan, this market is projected to experience exponential growth, with a CAGR of 9.6% expected by the same year1. Despite this potential, clients often have fragmented solutions for the design, development, and operational phases, slowing down time-to-market and impeding both customer experience and business growth. By combining Accenture's expertise in driving reinvention and transformation using gen AI with Yumemi's development methodologies, Accenture will offer comprehensive end-to-end support for the creation, operation, and enhancement of innovative digital products.

    Atsushi Egawa, CEO, Accenture, Japan, and co-CEO, Asia-Pacific, said: "By integrating Yumemi's advanced capabilities, we will bolster our ability to help clients address critical business challenges by anticipating their needs and supporting the development of innovative new digital products. Yumemi's growth is fueled by its strong corporate culture and active engagement of its diverse talent, and its leaders prioritize the development of their people and cultivate a flexible, transparent environment, fostering new ideas and exceptional employee experiences. Embracing Yumemi's forward-thinking approaches and agility, we are committed to creating world-class digital products that significantly impact the market, driving transformation and competitiveness of enterprises in Japan and across the globe."

    Toshiyuki Kataoka, CEO of Yumemi Inc., said: "Accenture's commitment to delivering on the promise of technology and human ingenuity perfectly aligns with our vision of 'crafting timeless services to enhance people's lives worldwide.' By combining Accenture's comprehensive offerings with our proven ‘design engineering' expertise, unique and diverse employee culture, and strong customer community, we aim to accelerate the development of groundbreaking digital services that will transform industry norms. We have immense respect for Accenture's culture, which aligns harmoniously with our own. This perfect fit is destined to create remarkable synergy, enabling our teams to refine their skills and unlock new levels of value for our customers, employees, and business."

    Yumemi joins Accenture Song's growing design and digital products practice, which helps clients worldwide create valuable, intuitive, and differentiated products and services. This follows the acquisition of Work & Co in 2024.

    Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed. Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions.
