Next move
  • Singapore is now too wealthy and educated for low
    value added industries
  • How does a tiny county (250 square miles) create
    a Knowledge Based Economy KBE?
  • Develop a virtual model of Silicon Valley
  • Singapore will be the nerve center
  • Network cluster that stretches from Korea to
    Australia

8
Shared Understanding
  • Singapore is one big technology cluster
  • Broadband is king
  • High speed Internet and Multi media to every home
  • Networking creates wealth not teamwork
  • See Japan as too insular and culturally unfit for
    a cluster approach

    and India

    country

    might be, only what is Jeff Goh CEO Lightspeed
    Technologies
  • They have 90,000 IT professional and they will
    need 130,000 more over the next 5 years
  • Ciscos Asian IT work force is in Singapore and
    it rotates on a monthly as needed basis.

Taiwan
  • Taiwanese companies dont start as local players
    before expanding into global markets they begin
    as cogs in a global high-tech machine whose motor
    is the US.

    class did their graduate training and worked in
    the US before taking their skills and connections
    back home
