Entrepreneurial innovation in rapidly growing economies like China has so far focused on meeting immediate market demands and often seems less technology-intensive than in advanced economies. Our public seminar this week focuses on the next wave of technology-intensive entrepreneurship in Asia.

Author of Emerging Nanotechnology Power: Nanotechnology R&D and Business Trends in the Asia Pacific Rim, Dr. Liu is an Asia-based expert specializing in nanotech policy/strategy, internationalization and business development.  She is the founding secretary of the Asia Nano Forum (www.asia-anf.org), strategic advisor and a founding Director of Nanostart Asia, and she has played a vital role in setting up Nanostart AG`s Singapore fund, investment and operation.  Dr. Liu has a Ph.D in physics specializing in many-body effects and transports in semiconductor nanostructures, and has conducted research work in Australia, Japan, USA and Italy. She is fluent in Chinese and English; reads technical Japanese and speaks conversational Japanese and Italian.

Immediately following the session, we’ll have a short-networking reception from 5:30 – 6:15PM.  This is the sixth session in the US-Asia Technology Management Center’s ten week seminar series on “Entrepreneurship in Asian High-Tech Industries.”

Presented by the US-Asia Technology Management Center in Stanford’s School of Engineering, with support from the Miner Foundation and major series support from ISI Dentsu of America.
