THE TWO FACES OF INNOVATION
innovation insights from Silicon Valley & China jointly with Peter Hinssen
Silicon Valley and China’s tech ecosystem cities (such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shanghai) are the fastest evolving innovation hubs in the world. But inspiration from pioneering startups, corporates and academics from these distant corners of the globe should not be an ‘either, or’ story. Each has its very own background, innovation DNA, culture, methods and strategies. Each has the potential to trigger you in ways you’d never thought possible.
And who better to inspire you in the matter than serial entrepreneur & Silicon Valley aficionado Peter Hinssen and China expert Pascal Coppens?
Book Peter and Pascal for an eye-opening double keynote on the uniquely successful innovation approaches of Silicon Valley and China. They’ll bring you on a holistic journey into the heart of technological, societal, individual and business (model) change. If you want to really understand the depth and complexity of innovation, and the potential of disruption: this 3-hour twin journey will change your perspective forever!

Deze keynote geeft duidelijke inzichten over het moderne China, en onthult nieuwe superkrachten van het fast and furious innovatieve China. Aangezien steeds meer radicale innovatie door China geïnspireerd wordt, is deze keynote voor iedereen die bekommerd is om disruptie en enthousiast over de toekomst een ware eye-opener
In 1 specifieke industrie wordt aangetoond hoe China een nieuw normaal creëert die voor ons vaak nog als science fiction klinkt. Met tastbare voorbeelden kunnen professionals in de (desbetreffende) sector zien hoe China zichzelf aan het heruitvinden is vanuit de onuitputtelijke ambitie en drang naar een beter leven.
China’s business ecosystemen zijn een voorbeeld voor de wereld omdat zij zo veel verder gaan dan vele Westerse partnership modellen. Chinese ecosystemen worden sterk gedreven door grote data bedrijven zoals Alibaba, Tencent of Baidu die massaal veel investeren in hun partners waarmee ze co-creëren om zo samen op de meest klant-centrische manier nieuwe disruptieve innovaties aan enorm tempo te vermarkten.
Sinds 2008 kent China een explosie van digitalisering met vandaag 800 miljoen smartphone gebruikers, en sinds 2013 is AI voor China niet enkel een motor van evolutie geworden, maar een ware gamechanger voor alle Chinese bedrijven, consumenten en de overheid. AI is vandaag de sleutel van China’s transformatie naar zijn ‘Nieuw Normaal’ die van elk Chinees technologiebedrijf een AI-bedrijf maakt.
