BY Professor T. Russell Hsing of Chair Professor, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan

Abstract: To start from three old photos which were taken over 27 years ago, the speaker will first share his own story of developing the world’s first Touch Phone in 1983, the ADSL in 1987, and Low-Power Personal Access Communications System (PACS) for Wireless Applications in 2000 with audience. He will then couple his R&D experiences of 35 years in US industry with his global connections and involvements with few start-ups. This talk will blend technologies, liberal arts, creativity, innovation, business and management together to guide the audience to go through an entire process from "Curiosity > Opportunity > Business Model > Risk Management > Technology Commercialization > Money". At the end of this talk, the speaker hopes that the audience will have a first-hand feeling to understand how an entrepreneur transfers his (her) curiosity, hard work, ambition, and commitment at the very early stage to establish an enterprise, and then eventually expand it to one of the top Fortune 500 corporations in the world.
