What the U.S. was once, not so long ago, envied by the World Communities for, Innovation and our Innovative workforce as well as many of the business leaders then. The Chinese and others are rapidly filling that void.
2011-04-28 - Innovation is the key for Chinese sustainable enterprises in gaining a strong foothold in tomorrow's green economy, experts said at a forum held in Beijing.
Over a dozen scholars, leaders of green technology firms and NGOs from home and abroad gathered and brainstormed at the Tsinghua-Cornell 2011 International Conference on Innovative Strategies for Sustainable Enterprise on Monday.
Sustainable enterprises, or Green enterprise, are those companies that try to achieve a right balance between people, planet and profit.
How to achieve sustainable development is perhaps the most tantalizing question in economics, however, natural resources depletion and environment pollution caused by today's energy-intensive industries are constant remainders of just how far we are from that dream.
Professor Gao Xudong, Director of Tsinghua MBA programs and a researcher of innovative technology, emphasized the importance of acquiring sustainable development through self-innovation.
"They (Chinese companies) should be much more innovative." Professor Gao Xudong said, "innovative in the sense that they could develop their own leading technologies, they need to change their strategy of relying mainly on buying technology. Buying technology itself will not make them sustainable, nor make them successful."
Luckily, some Chinese clean-tech firms have initiated the field of pollution reduction by adopting self-developed cutting-edge technologies. {continued}
