INNOVATE 2005

Module by: Patrick Frantz

Summary: Introductory module for the INNOVATE 2005 conference in Singapore and Tokyo.

INNOVATE 2005 Overview

INNOVATE is a study conference for undergraduate and graduate technical students that examines the relationship between technology, globalization, and leadership in the contemporary marketplace. Student delegates to the 2005 conference will spend five days each in Singapore and Tokyo participating in meetings with key business, academic and government leaders and professional visits to companies (such as Micron, Toyota, NEC, NTT Docomo, Texas Instruments, et al.).

INNOVATE 2005 involves 54 students and 11 advisors from 12 different countries and 4 different continents, and the formal program promotes student interaction to take full advantage of the international spirit of the conference. Outside the conference program, the conversations that occur during dinner and sightseeing excursions are also opportunities for delegates to reflect on what they have learned and to challenge their thinking about their own cultures. This conference challenges tomorrow’s technical leaders to grapple with issues of technology and globalization, not just in the abstract, but by experience.
