An insider’s view of how Asian Companies are rising to the top and how design can help your global aspirations
Asian companies are fast emerging as formidable competition to established brands. For example, Samsung has already emerged as a market leader in some of the technology product categories replacing the dominance of companies like Sony. Recent entrants like Acer and Lenovo harbour ambitions of rising to the top.

Jun Lee will present the challenges and opportunities that values driven innovation has created as companies prepare themselves for succeeding in global markets.
