Your one-stop booth for everything JDI — live, in person, with exclusive deals

The JDI Zone is a dedicated space on the Chapter 4 event floor where JDI's four specialist teams are available in person — to consult, advise, and unlock anniversary-exclusive offers that aren't available anywhere else.

Whether you're a corporation looking to deploy AI, a company scaling your tech team, a startup seeking investment-readiness support, or an ecosystem builder wanting deeper access to Vietnam's AI community — the JDI Zone is the most valuable 30 minutes you'll spend at the event.

You don't need an appointment. Walk up. Ask the hard questions. And if the fit is right, lock in your anniversary package on the spot — before they're gone.

2016
The Founding

JDI was born as a Venture Catalyst, built to bridge Singapore and Vietnam's tech ecosystems and unlock cross-border opportunities for the next generation of tech companies.

2016
2017–18
The First Crossing

Guided the first wave of Singapore tech companies into Vietnam, establishing market-entry playbooks and standing up their founding teams on the ground.

2017–18
2019–20
Capital Meets Capability

Expanded into capital advisory and software development. Grew a cross-border investor network spanning FinTech, F&B, e-commerce, and EdTech — turning market access into real funding and real products.

2019–20
2021–22
The JDI Ecosystem

Launched our specialized branches — Talent JDI, Launch JDI, Tech JDI, Venture JDI, and Capital JDI — to catalyze the growth of innovative companies at every step.

2021–22
2026
Enterprise AI Adoption

The milestone chapter. TFOAI 4 marks the shift from early experiments to enterprise-wide AI adoption — and coincides with 10 years of JDI shaping what's next.

2026

See what happens when the right people are in the room

Everything You Need to Know

What exactly is the JDI Zone?

A dedicated booth space at Chapter 4 where all four JDI specialist teams — Build AI, Hire for AI, Connect for AI, and Invest in AI — are present in person. Walk up, ask questions, and if the fit is right, lock in your anniversary package on the spot.

Do I need to book a slot at the JDI Zone in advance?

No appointment needed — it's walk-up, no gatekeepers. For the Invest in AI package (Fundraising Readiness Review), slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited capacity, so arriving early is recommended.

Are the anniversary packages really only available at the event?

Yes — all four anniversary packages are strictly limited to in-person Chapter 4 attendees who visit the JDI Zone booth. They expire when the event ends and are not available online, by email, or after the event date.

Is the AI Readiness Consultation genuinely free?

Yes, completely. The complimentary AI Readiness Consultation is a structured, no-obligation session with a senior JDI consultant. There's no sales pitch or commitment required to access it — it's our anniversary gift to the Chapter 4 community.

Who qualifies for the Invest in AI package?

The Fundraising Readiness Review and AI Founders Fund priority access is available to AI startups at any stage. You should have a working product or clear MVP, a defined market, and be actively considering or preparing a fundraising round in the next 12 months.

What does the Hire for AI anniversary rate cover?

The anniversary rate is a preferential pricing discount on your first three-month tech placement or dedicated team engagement with JDI Talent. It applies to new client agreements signed at the JDI Zone booth on the day, and locks in the rate for the full initial term.
