He provides examples of success stories and argues that innovation is essential for economic growth and competitiveness. Bendis emphasizes the important roles of government, academia, and industry in fostering innovation and outlines goals and best practices for innovation-based economic development.
This document discusses different models for innovation centers. It identifies two main models:
[1] Model 1 focuses on developing unique knowledge and intellectual assets through strong university partnerships and knowledge creation. This model requires recruitment of companies, startups, and intellectual capital.
[2] Model 2 focuses more on accessing markets and specialized development. This model requires infrastructure development and recruitment of talents.
Within these two models, the document outlines three types of innovation centers: [1] incubation centers that support small businesses, [2] acceleration centers that focus on commercialization, and [3] industrial parks that focus on product manufacturing. The social policy and services provided depends on the economic model and goals of the specific innovation center
The document discusses various topics related to innovation including open innovation, financial innovation, growth and innovation, space innovation, social communities, platforms and innovation, and business model innovation. It notes that open innovation means companies use both internal and external ideas and opportunities for product development and sales. Business models mediate between technical and economic domains, and companies like Google and Netflix were built on business model innovations rather than just technical innovations. Effective business models create and capture value.
There exists an increasingly important IP information gap in financial disclosures in South Africa that is severely hampering business growth, cultural preservation and opportunity. The IP information gap exists across the business spectrum; large, medium and small businesses are affected. Whilst this is a global challenge, it is particularly acute in South Africa especially in the area of patents. South Africa's patent economy is woeful and stands in stark contrast to its capacity to innovate. It is extremely important to address this gap which starts with a concerted drive on IP education, self audits and the cultivation of an economy that understands the benefit of investing in IP to stimulate growth and further innovation, and also how to draft, use and interrogate an IP narrative in financial accounts effectively.

Our HK Foundation's report -- based on a draft provided by the Victor and William Fung Foundation through the work of Fung Business Intelligence Centre
This report presents the Human Freedom Index (HFI), a new measure of human freedom covering 152 countries. The HFI uses 76 indicators to measure personal, civil, and economic freedoms in areas such as rule of law, movement, religion, and size of government. Hong Kong, Switzerland, and Finland rank as the top three most free countries. The Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia have the lowest freedom, while women's freedoms are least protected in those regions. Countries with higher freedom have significantly higher incomes. The HFI finds a strong correlation between freedom and democracy, though Hong Kong is an outlier with high freedom but not democracy.
This document discusses alternatives to the current democratic system in Hong Kong that could improve governance. It proposes establishing government-sponsored Future Centres, modeled after similar organizations in Europe. These centres would engage stakeholders in policymaking through research and civic participation. They aim to address issues like policy failures, lack of consensus building, and the government's limited capacity to solve complex problems. The document argues Future Centres could help re-establish public trust in government and alleviate irrational discussions in politics.
This document summarizes a report on crowdsourcing for democracy. It begins with an introduction stating that the report examines cases where crowdsourcing has been used in policymaking processes. It then provides definitions of crowdsourcing, explaining that it involves open online participation in tasks by an undefined group. The remainder of the report provides examples of crowdsourcing applications and analyzes its role and potential in democratic processes.
This document summarizes a report on the future of manufacturing. It finds that manufacturing relies on three pillars: factors of production, standards, and costs. Emerging technologies are transforming manufacturing through new waves of innovation. While offshoring and outsourcing have reshaped manufacturing, new trends toward nearshoring and reshoring are emerging as capabilities develop and input costs change. The report examines these trends and challenges in shifting the global economy.
This document discusses how population aging and increased longevity can create new markets and drive economic growth in the 21st century. It notes that major global companies have recognized aging as a strategic driver of commercial goals and a way to attract talent. While talk of "crisis" is common, many see aging as a powerful market opportunity if the right strategic framework is put in place. Both private sector innovation and supportive public policies will be needed to fully capture the opportunities of aging populations and create environments where people can enjoy long and active lives.
The document outlines 10 innovative urban solutions from around the world that address challenges facing cities. These solutions focus on principles like unleashing spare capacity, cutting demand peaks, small-scale infrastructure, and being people-centered. The innovations highlighted include (1) digitally re-programmable spaces that better utilize existing urban infrastructure; (2) an "Internet of Pipes" using sensors to monitor water networks and identify issues; and (3) using social networks for citizens to "adopt" and care for urban trees.
This document summarizes the history of trade policies used by developed countries during their early stages of development. It argues that contrary to popular belief, virtually no developed countries practiced free trade when they were developing. Instead, they actively promoted their industries through measures like tariffs, subsidies, and import restrictions. Specifically, it discusses how Britain promoted the wool industry in the 15th century and implemented policies like import tariffs and export subsidies in the 18th century to develop manufacturing. The document aims to debunk the myth that free trade led to development and argues historical evidence shows interventionist policies were more common.
The document summarizes five future centers located in the Netherlands that aim to promote innovation in the public sector. It describes each center's focus and goals. The Country House is a joint initiative between four Dutch ministries focused on tackling multi-sector issues. Mobilion serves as a prototype future center for the Department of Public Works & Water Management to address challenges in transportation and water infrastructure. The centers provide workspaces and facilities to encourage collaboration between civil servants and stakeholders on issues facing the government.
The report discusses international developments in IP trading and Hong Kong's position. Globally, IP trading is growing rapidly driven by innovation. The use and creation of IP is shifting towards Asia, especially China. China has overtaken the US in patent applications and leads the world in trademarks and industrial designs. Hong Kong has advantages as an IP trading hub due to its sound legal system, low tax regime, and position as a super-connector between China and the world. The report aims to develop strategies to promote Hong Kong as a premier IP trading hub.
Europe has experienced two fractures in its industrial landscape over the past decades. First, emerging economies like China and Brazil have greatly increased their manufacturing output and share of global production. Second, some traditional European industrial powers like France and the UK have seen declines in industrial employment and value added, while Germany and Eastern European countries have retained stronger industrial sectors. For Europe to maintain 15-20% of value from industry, it will need to invest heavily to transition to new digital technologies and production methods known as Industry 4.0.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
