I want to share with all of you a brief synopsis of what I learned while visiting Silicon Valley. ONE word that linked all experiences:  INNOVATION

Plug & Play

    • Focus: Connecting Start Ups & Corporations
    • New Word: Unicorn (a privately held startup company valued at over US$1 billion)

    • Focus: Working stations. Google employees are encouraged (through a strategically designed working environment) to share time with co-workers from different departments, so that they can leave their everyday routine and bubble and see the world from a different perspective.
    • New Idea: Naming rooms after famous books: Brave New World

Tesla 

    • Focus: Introduce an innovative way of driving
    • New Idea: Automated driving has been the most popular feature of Tesla Cars

Google City

    • New Idea: An integrated, futuristic city

Stanford

    • Focus: Metaverse
    • New Idea: Are you ready to meet your Avatar?
