Dreame unveils Silicon Valley expansion, spanning robots, mobility and smart home tech

Hundreds of influencers, media figures and a handful of celebrity guests filled the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco last week for a Dreame event that looked built as much for brand heat as for buyers. Across four days, the Chinese robot vacuum maker used DREAME NEXT to push a broader story about Silicon Valley ambition, even as much of what it showed looked more like concept-building than immediately shoppable consumer hardware.

Dreame described the April 27 to April 30 showcase as its largest international event to date and its first multi-day international launch. The company split the presentation into five segments, Drive Next, Living Next, Connect Next, Self Next and Humanity Next, and said the event was the first time it had presented its full product ecosystem in a single setting. That ecosystem now spans smart mobility, smart home appliances, personal devices and premium personal care.

The company paired that stagecraft with growth claims meant to impress investors and consumers alike. Dreame said its products are used in 42 million households across 120 countries and regions, that overseas revenue accounted for nearly 80 percent of total sales in 2025, and that revenue has grown at a compound annual rate of 100 percent for eight straight years. It also said North America revenue rose 189 percent year over year in 2025, while research spending tops 7 percent of revenue and more than 70 percent of employees work in research roles. Dreame framed that work around three core technologies: high-speed digital motors, intelligent algorithms and bionic robotic arms.

On stage, the company previewed a rocket-powered vehicle called the Nebula NEXT 01 JET Edition under Drive Next, said Living Next would feature more than 20 smart home products and dozens of industry-first technologies, and said Connect Next would introduce modular AI smartphones. The guest list reflected the event’s blend of tech signaling and influencer amplification, with Sebastian Thrun, Steve Wozniak, Dwyane Wade, Robert Scoble, Julie Zhuo, William Fong, James W. Keyes, David Patterson, Sylvia Acevedo, Yossi Feinberg, Barry Eichengreen, Rebecca A. Fannin, Jim Chen and Fremont Mayor Emeritus Lily Mei all named as attendees or speakers.

Dreame said the Yu Hao Foundation would unveil three new initiatives during Humanity Next. Taken together, the presentation showed how the gadget-launch economy now runs on scale stories, celebrity-facing optics and ecosystem talk as much as on products customers can buy right away.
