Kevin Kelly, publisher of Whole Earth Review, once suggested, “If we go to the phone or the mobile market, it's the greatest subversive and definitely not from the biggest breakthrough in itself, but its marginal industries and edge areas”. Indeed, as can be seen in the example of Google, Facebook, Amazon and also Apple, all of them start from the marginal but finally successfully overtake the mainstream. Let’s, from this moment on, direct our attention to the marginal areas and seek innovation out there.
T-EDGE INNOVATION CONFERENCE, jointly hosted by TMTpost and Business Value annually, is the highest platform in China for innovators from home and the United States to gather around and communicate. Its Summer Summit is held in late May and Annual T-Edge Innovation Conference in December annually. This Shenzhen Forum serves as both the warm-up platform for the annual Conference and the starting point of the following Forum Tour nationwide. Shenzhen, undeniably, is now the closest Chinese cousin of Silicon Valley, which is also why it’s made the first stop of the BT Awards National Tour. Needless to say, BT awards are the most high-end awards in China when it comes to the technology and innovation industry.
This year’s Shenzhen Forum is a close-door meeting for more than 100 well-known entrepreneurs, and founders of startup companies in southern China and is only open to those invited. All the guests will also be invited as VIPs to our Summer Summit, which a dozen of top innovators from China and the United States will also attend.
