Abstract:
Drawing on 50 years of real-world experience, I will share my aspirations as a scientist and challenges as an entrepreneur and discuss the ecosystems that create social impacts. Why people take risks, how innovation happens by leaping over the valley in front of us, and how this impacts individuals, society, and the world will be discussed. And together, we will think about visionary leaders who take on the unpredictable future and the world that no one knows.
