Let us reach out to the fringe for real innovation

Kevin Kelly, publisher of the Whole Earth Review, once suggested “the nature of an innovation is that it will arise at a fringe where it can afford to become prevalent enough to establish its usefulness without being overwhelmed by the inertia of the orthodox system.” Looking at examples of Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple, we can see how they all arose on the fringe of their respective industries and ultimately managed to revolutionize the course of action of their respective industries, changing global mainstream practices as a result. T-EDGE INNOVATION CONFERENCE, jointly hosted by TMTpost and Business Value magazine, is the highest platform in China for innovators from China and the United States to meet and communicate annually. T-Edge's serial events include: a Summer Summit, an Annual T-Edge Innovation Conference and some City Innovation Forums.
