Plotting
the future path of mobile, networking and TV at Computex Taipei
Innovation Forum
Industry
leaders offer insights and predictions for apps, emerging markets, LTE
and the cloud
May
22, 2012, Taipei, Taiwan -
The critical role of apps in differentiating hardware platforms, the
dramatic expansion and transformation of emerging markets –
such as Turkey, China, and India – plus LTE and Cloud
computing for the emerging mobile enterprise market will all be among
the hot technology topics discussed by industry leaders and key
innovators at the Computex Taipei Innovation Forum 2012.
The forum aims to spur innovation, and to create new consumer markets
and niche service models across the ICT Eco Chain, the vertical supply
chain of the industry which includes ICs, hardware, software,
distributors and service providers. The forum takes place on Tuesday 5
June, 2012 in Taipei, Taiwan, on the first day of the Computex show.
Keynote addresses include “Networked Society - A New
Generation Innovation” from Arun Bhikshesvaran, Ericsson's
Chief Marketing Officer.
“The rapid proliferation of high performance mobile and fixed
broadband networks, increasing adoption of smart devices and innovative
applications and services is shaping our lives and the world that we
live in today”, says Bhikshesvaran. In his keynote address,
Bhikshesvaran will be explaining how smartphones and tablets have
changed the way we deal with information sources throughout the day,
leading to behaviors that are very different from both voice-centric
mobile phones and power-hungry laptops.
Applications that enable new experiences and reduce friction for
business have been introduced in many industries including retail,
travel, banking, healthcare, education and transportation. The combined
benefit across leading global cities has been studied and documented in
Ericsson's Networked Society City Index.
In addition to reviewing the key aspects of this index, Bhikshesvaran's
talk will cover emerging opportunities for innovation in the areas of
communications services, network-enabled cloud and industry verticals
leading to the Networked Society. These opportunities will build on the
capabilities of the current ecosystem of hardware manufacturers,
applications and software developers and business process experts
leading to new experiences and efficiencies.
The Computex Taipei Innovation Forum is a B2B forum that joins 500
qualified industry professionals, including designers, engineers,
R&D leaders and more, from an array of global ICT companies.
The forum platforms the latest devices, systems and service models that
are enhancing innovative collaboration across countries, industries and
technologies. Spotlight topics at this year's event include new visual
communication, mobile computing, LTE, ultra high-definition video, and
cloud applications. The forum focuses on the critical knowledge and
strategies needed to compete in today’s globally competitive
market.
Other morning keynote addresses will include: “Future
Prospects of LTE - Advanced for a Smarter City” from Seizo
Onoe, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of the R&D
Strategy Department at NTT DOCOMO, and “Realizing the Value
of High Performance Mobile Computing”, from Rob Chandhok,
Senior Vice President at Qualcomm CDMA Technologies.
In addition, Philippe Lambinet, Corporate Strategy Officer at
STMicroelectronics, will deliver an address titled “The Next
Step in Multimedia Convergence: Tomorrow Today”, and NVIDIA's
Ujesh Desai will speak on “The Dawn of a New Era in
Computing”.
The opening speech of the event will be “New Visual
Communication Experience in Smart Life”, from Hirotoshi
Uehara of Panasonic's AVC Networks Company.
Subjects covered in afternoon events will include trusted solutions, 3G
and LTE measurement standards, the networked society, new HD and home
network connectivity, telematics cloud service solutions, gesture
recognition, and super high resolution glasses-free 3D displays.
The day will be rounded off with a panel discussion on the theme:
“Building Hubs that Serve Manufacturers and Consumers for the
Emerging Market”, moderated by Yuji Inoue, Chairman of the
Toyota InfoTechnology Center.
