Innovation 2015: From China to Silicon Valley
VIEW EVENT DETAILSGlobal Conference
China is pursuing an aggressive strategy to remake itself as a global high-tech center for innovation. The path to innovation is not easy, and both the U.S. and China are facing many barriers as they strive to build their innovation-driven economies. What lessons can China draw from innovative firms and policies in the West, and from Silicon Valley in particular? Can Silicon Valley’s unique “ecosystem for innovation” be replicated?
Organized by Asia Society in partnership with the Tianjin Binhai Hi-Tech Industrial Development Area, Innovation 2015: From China to Silicon Valley brings together leading entrepreneurs, business executives, and policymakers from both China and the West for dialogue and exchange to obtain expert analysis, explore best practices, and get the latest business intelligence on the future of innovation and entrepreneurship in China, the U.S., and beyond.
