| Innovation Goes Public |
 |
Open Source provides much of the software
infrastructure for many of the world's largest
companies and organizations: Merrill Lynch,
Google, Pixar, Amazon, the City of New York, and
probably you - although you might not know it.
Innovative products like Linux, Firefox, and
Apache are the market-leaders in their sectors,
but there are tens of thousands of Open Source
programs, used for just about everything. But the
economics of Open Source are non-intuitive: how
can you make money by giving software away? Why
did IBM de-emphasize AIX, after spending Billions,
in favor of Linux, the product of a loose
collaboration of programmers that it can never
control? How can the world's greatest city trust
Open Source to help manage its jails?
Perens will show how Open Source is often the most
effective strategy for creating and utilizing new
innovation. He will explain the economics of Open
Source and how it works for profit-generating
companies. His talk will be clear to beginners yet
informative even for Open Source pros.

The Innovation Mantra: The Key to Asian
Competitiveness?
Citing innovation as the key to global
competitiveness has become a reflex in Asia. But
is innovation understood, and applied, in the
context of meeting the unmet needs of consumers
and markets through insight and invention? Is an
incremental, product-based approach the best for
Asia? Which industries and companies have it
right, and which have it wrong, in Asia? What has
been the track record of governments so far to
foster real innovation?

| IP3 - Cup Noodle: Innovation, Inspiration and Manga |
 |
Faced with an shrinking food market and
competitors copying its innovative Ramen product,
Nissin Foods faced a financial crisis. In the face
of this crisis, Momofuku Andou saw opportunity in
a product that didn't exist in a country (America)
that didn't know it needed it.
His vision: Japanese noodles that could be ready
to eat in three minutes anywhere.
Finding a way to accomplish this vision involved
inventing entirely new food processing techniques
and caused one developer to lose 12 kilos of
weight during the process.
The end result is was a revolutionary product, a
staple of grocery stores everywhere, a essential
part of disaster relief efforts worldwide, and the
greatest Japanese business story ever told.
This presentation will feature artwork from the
Eisner-award nominated Project X Challenger: Cup
Noodle manga book.
