“think outside the box” and explore emerging technologies at the opening of the 2019 AIC Innovation Forum Wednesday in Taiwan.
Brent Christensen, director of the American Institute in Taiwan’s (AIT’s) Taipei office, in his opening remarks at the forum, quoted Albert Einstein, who said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
He said that this year’s forum will explore emerging technologies and also how people can learn to “think outside the box” and imagine these technologies.
The American Innovation Center (AIC) in Taiwan was jointly established by the AIT and the Taiwan Design Center (TDC) in 2014 to promote U.S.-Taiwan shared values of innovation, digitalization and culture and design by offering technology, creativity and designed-themed programs. [FULL STORY]
