Background

As globalization has rapidly changed our lives, the boundaries between countries have disappeared and movement of human resources from one country to another has become commonplace. Accordingly, international organizations, governments, corporations, and individuals are required to be globally competitive.

The reason global competitiveness of human resources is a key issue is that now everyone, and not just a small number of elites in specialized fields, must compete to survive in the world. Because human resources are the foundation where the prosperity of individuals, businesses, society, and the world is built upon, the governments, businesses, and educational institutions must join efforts to improve the education, training, and utilization of human resources.

Due to this, the Korea Economic Daily, Korean Ministry of Education, and Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training recognized the needs for international cooperation and collaboration, and initiated the Global HR Forum in collaboration with the private sector in 2006.

Objectives

○ Find solutions for the major on-going global issues that the entire human race is facing

○ Share creative, valuable experiences and cases of human resources development in government, public and private sectors

○ Discuss significant factors of human resources development for the future generations in terms of global perspectives

Program Partners World Bank, OECD, UNESCO, British Council, MERCER, KORN FERRY, Korea Student Aid Foundation, Korea Council for University Education, Korea Invention Promotion Association(KIPA), National Institute for Lifelong Education(NILE)

II. HISTORY The Korean government recognized the need for international cooperation and collaboration, and as a result initiated the Global HR forum 2006 in collaboration with the private sector. Over 3,000 people attended the 1st Global HR Forum and including the heads of renowned universities and leaders of private, public, and international institutions. Notable speakers include entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates, the founder and chairman of Microsoft; Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank with heads of OECD, UNESCO, and other related international organizations; high ranking government officials such as Bertel Haarder, the education minister of Denmark; and scholars such as Robert Barro, professor at Harvard University. The Global HR Forum 2007 started off with video lectures by Bill Clinton, former President of U.S.A., Óscar Arias Sánchez, former President of Costa Rica, and Ki-Moon Ban, Secretary-General of the UN. Over 4000 participants gathered to hear the messages from more than 150 prominent global leaders from 35 countries. Speakers include Richard Holbrooke, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Francis Fukuyama, Professor of Johns Hopkins University, Ben Verwaayen, President of British Telecom, as well as the CEOs and CHOs of companies such as Goldman Sachs, BMW, Boeing, and Walt Disney Studios. Representatives of governments such as the Minister of Culture of Sudan, the Minister of Education of Iraq, Bulgaria's Vice Minister for Education and other high ranking officials from involved with Education and Culture were present, and representatives of the OECD, World Bank, and ALECSO also participated as speakers. The 3rd Global HR Forum held in 2008, kicked off with video speeches by Jack Welch, former CEO of GE, and Craig R. Barrett, CEO of Intel. Other participants include Martin Feldstein, former Chairman of the NBER, Jean Robert Pitte, president of the University of Paris-Sorbonne, Jozef M. Ritzen, president of the University of Maastricht, Nicolas R. Burnett, Assistant Director-General of Education for UNESCO, and the CEOs and CHOs of companies such as Pfizer, HP, IBM, Motorola, Dupont and Corning. The Global HR Forum in 2009 began with a video presentation by the President of the Republic of Korea, Myung-Bak Lee. Other speakers include, Former German Prime Minister Gerhard Schroeder known for


3

leading Germany to an economic boom post reunification; Fred Bergsten, Director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, leading authority on the global economic outlook; the world's leading HR theorist Dave Ulrich, Professor at the University of Michigan; David Skorton, President of Cornell University; Tan Chorh Chuan, President of the National University of Singapore; Atsushi Seike, President of Keio University, senior government officials of education, science and technology, and culture from over 65 countries; major university presidents; globally recognized scholars; as well as the CEOs of multinational firms presented at the forum. The slogan for the 5th Global HR Forum held in October 26-28, 2010 was "Open and Ready for Tomorrow." 200 speakers from 52 countries participated in the forum and notable speakers include Allan Greenspan, former Chairman of the FRB; Jacque Attali, President of PlaNet Finance; Joseph Polisi, President of the Julliard School; Tony Little, Headmaster of Eton College; Nobel Economics Prize Laureate Robert Mundell, Professor of Economics at the University of Columbia; Jeffrey Pfeffer, Professor of Organizational Behavior at Stanford University; and Franci Phelan, CHRO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. World-class scholars and global CEOs discussed issues such as the new world economic order post-crisis, balanced growth, development of creative talent, and management of a just society. The responses from participants of the forum were very positive and many of the participating companies found the forum helpful in establishing vision and gaining the insight needed to finding a solution for human resource development. In particular, financial support from the World Bank and UNESCO made it possible to invite 50 state level officials from 12 Asia-Pacific region countries to hold a forum for Education Ministers of developing countries together with a training program for policy makers in the East Asia and the Pacific region. The two events opened a channel to extensively discuss the ways in which governments could harness education and develop human resources to combat problems such as hunger, disease, income disparities, high elderly population, low economic growth, climate change, and energy supply issues in order to improve the quality of life. "Smart Education: Reinventing the future" was the theme of the 6th Global HR Forum, which was held on the first three days of November in 2011. More than 120 speakers from 60 countries attended, and notable speakers who participated in the forum include Yukio Hatoyama (The 93rd Prime Minister of Japan), Paul Volcker (Former Chairman, US Presidential Economic Recovery Advisory Board), Steve Coll (President, New America Foundation), Russ Hagey (Vice-President, Bain & Company), Ian White (Vice-Chancellor, Cambridge University), Lars Pallesion (President, DTU), Francis Fukuyama (Professor, Stanford University), Santiago Iniguez (Dean, IE Business School) , Judy Olian (Dean, UCLA Anderson School of Management) and Milton Chen (Executive Director, George Lucas Education Foundation). This year, renowned world scholars and CEOs of global companies noted that increasingly rapid social change has made predicting the future more difficult, and consequently it is necessary to abandon hidebound practices and ways of thought. Instead, they discussed ways to develop


4

human resources, prepare for the future, and identify global economic trends and prospects. The potential talent development based solutions for dealing with future uncertainties proposed by participants of the last forum were collected and distilled into seven articles and published as the “Seoul Initiative,” to further promote human resource development. The “Seoul Initiative” contains ways to develop talent through close collaboration between government, institutions of higher learning, and businesses, and details several approaches to increase global cooperation by utilizing talent and information sharing. During the forum, major universities and institutions of learning around the world expressed their interest in participating in the 'Global Leadership Program (GLP),' a program initiated by the Korean Economic Daily. Furthermore, a policymaker training program, funded by World Bank and UNESCO, was offered to 80 senior ranking officials of developing nations from 18 Asian and African states. During this portion of the forum, participants discussed how to utilize education to develop the human capital needed to solve problems that will face all of mankind in the future, such as hunger, disease, income disparity, low growth, aging, climate change, and dwindling natural resources. During the 7th Global HR Forum, interesting discussions and presentations were made under the theme of “Better Education, the Best Welfare”. We live in the midst of a global economic downturn and increased polarization of wealth. And our organizers believed that the best way for the socially and economically disadvantaged group to escape poverty was equipping them with the means to survive on their own and the best form of welfare could be achieved by better education policies and practices. In order to share the experiences and discuss the solutions, we invited renowned experts and head of organizations from various fields including Gordon Brown (Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom), Daniel Shapiro (Professor, Harvard University), Anne Krueger (Professor, Johns Hopkins University/ First Female Deputy Managing Director, IMF), Elisabet Dahle (Deputy Minister, Norwegian Ministry of Education), Feridun Hamdullahpur (President, University of Waterloo), Roger H. Brown (President, Berklee College of Music), André J. Cointreau (President, Le Cordon Bleu International), Sujitha Karnad (Senior Vice President, Tech Mahindra) and Toyohiko Aoki (President, Aoki Co., LTD) and Mmantsetsa Marope (Director of Basic to Higher Education and Leaning, UNESCO). Last year’s main theme was “Beyond Walls”. At this 8th Global HR Forum, former Israeli Prime Minister

Ehud Barak delivered a keynote speech, and Francis Fukuyama - one of the most influential social &

political philosophers of our time - joined as a special speaker and shared his thoughts and perspectives

on the future of Northeast Asia and the World. Celebrating 130th anniversary of Korea-United Kingdom

amity, Paul Thompson(Rector, Royal College of Art) and six other top U.K. college vice-chancellors and

rectors visited Korea and participated in open forum discussion on how U.K. universities lead creative

industries by converging art and science and cooperating closely with the companies. Besides, many other

brilliant speakers from the worldwide joined our forum and shared their knowledge and experience: Hans

Paul Buerkner(Chairman, Boston Consulting Group), Lazlo Bock(Senior Vice President of People

Dean, U.S. Military Academy at West Point), Christian Lettmayr(Director, European Center for the

Development of Vocational Training(CEDEFOP)).

VI. Session Descriptions

▶ Keynote Speech

Keynote Speech 1 – Human Resources Development for Sustainable Growth

The Global Financial Crisis have caused economic recession and reinforced social instability and conflict

in many countries. In U.S. and Europe, a large number of people blamed inept government policies and

increased gap between the super-rich and the poor. Likewise, issues related to the economic inequality

and public distrust of leadership became more serious in Korea. Especially, after the recent Sewol Ferry

Tragedy, Koreans show intensified distrust in our society as they witnessed that people in responsibility

had no sense of ethics self-sacrifice to protect our citizens but only had greed and selfishness. Most of

Korean citizens considered these incidents characteristics of underdeveloped countries, and suggested that

Korean society has overlooked significance of humanistic education and moral responsibility, but only

focused on rapid economic growth for the past few decades. In light of that, we decided a main theme for

this year’s 9th Global HR Forum as Human Resources for Trust and Integration, hoping that we can make

an opportunity to discuss the ways to train and educate future talents who have solid moral foundation

and can hold our society together. Korea needs human resources that can resolve deep-rooted regionalism,

generation gap and class inequality and prepare for the inter-Korean reunification in the future.

During this session, President Jim Yong Kim will speak about the problem of distrust and

fragmentation that runs rife in society and the progress of other nations' efforts in curbing this

problem, and how much effort each of other nations have put into talent development with the

goal of increasing trust and social cohesion.

▶ Plenary Sessions

Plenary Session 1 – Lecture on Successful Leadership by Global CEOs

Due to accelerated globalization and intensified competition within the global market, multinational

companies need talented leaders who can successfully manage regionalization and internationalization,

centralization and de-concentration of their business simultaneously in order to become winners. In

addition, further development of distinguished strategies and prosperity on using their collective

knowledge, skills and human capitals are required for those transnational companies. In this session,

CEOs from the prestigious global companies will speak about their experiences in successful business

practices, and share ideas on possible challenges in creative economy and strategies to improve

international competitiveness.


15

Plenary Session 2 – New Paradigms for Future Universities

The importance of higher education that cultivates creative future talents, who can actively prepare for

the future society, is growing more and more. In Korea, 70 percent of high school graduates enter

universities, thus universities have grown without any difficulties in attracting students and were able to

innovate their system for many years. However, Korean universities now face new challenges, such as

the decrease in the number of high school graduates, globalization of higher education and

transformation from an industrial society of mass production to a knowledge-based society of high-

value products. Hence, universities are obliged to make efforts to transform their education and

research system in order to keep up with the new transition into the future society. The Korean

government has also pursued various policy measures in order to enhance the competitiveness of

universities at a global level as top global universities have achieved global competency through

innovating their education and research system. These top global universities also contribute to changes

at the national level and in companies. In this session, presidents of prestigious universities will

introduce their experiences of innovation in higher education, and discuss strategies to enhance the

competitiveness of universities.

Plenary Session 3 – Youth Start-ups and Job Policies

Between 2004 and 2013, youth employment rate in Korea has decreased from 45.1% to 39.7%. Its main

reason was a drastic decline of employment in the age of early 20s. The government has been developing

various types of solutions, especially of which encourage youth start-ups, as it is very likely to lower the

youth unemployment rate and promote job-oriented growth.

Based on this background, this session will cover the successful cases of foreign governments’ job

creation policies and possible solutions for current job market issues in Korea.

▶ Special Sessions

Special Session 1 The Future World of Work

What ability would be highly esteemed and considered significant in the future where the whole world is

converted to a place that values nothing but work, and has no such vocabulary as adolescence? What

efforts are necessary to continue to carry on meaningful and valuable missions? The world's famous

futurist, Dr. Thomas Frey will suggest proper solutions as to how the future world of work would be and

how working environment will change.


16

Special Session 2 How to Make Right Decisions

Professor Phil Rosenzweig will first cover cases about making right decisions in reality including

business, politics, economy, society, sports, and even gambling. Such examples will be followed by his

suggestions of what factors are to be considered to make right decisions. Furthermore, he will discuss on

what kind of decisions should be made, not only as an individual, but as a leader, who considers the

organization as a whole.

Connected Learning: Redesigning Education for the Masses Skillshare is a global learning company that connects ones with ideas to the ones who are willing to invest

on them. Skillshare is also a company that represents collaborative consumption and sharing economy as

Times magazine recently reported. This organization shares a wide range of useful skills on its website. In

this session, the CEO and Founder of Skillshare will discuss where such “connected learning” of people,

which will enable people to easily share their knowledge with others, thus creating new business, is

heading towards in the future and how this development could reduce unemployment.

Special Session 3 – Mind the Gap! War of Talents for UK Universities: Strategic Leadership, Integrity and Student Engagement

Authors in “An avalanche is coming: Higher education and the revolution ahead (Michael Barber, Katelyn Donnelly, Saad Rizvi, March 2013)” argued whether a university will continue to be seen as good value, given the remorseless rise in the cost of a university education over recent decades. Students with the growing anxiety around the world are concerned about youth unemployment. Competition between universities around the world has been intensifying for decades, and now they fight for talents and research funding. There is no such thing as standardised degrees or modes of delivery. Several university models have been developed to realise true value of education, distinctiveness and relevance to the market. This session provides a different strategy that has been taken by five UK universities to meet the needs of the students, market and technology. It also suggests critical roles of leadership, integrity of university and its relationship with students and the region of operation.

▶ Track A

TA-1: Global Citizenship Education


17

We are now required to cope with various types of global issues such as climate change and population

growth, and build borderless strategies for sustainable development and balanced use of resources. This

requires us to become global citizens who believe in values of peace, justice, humanism, respect, cultural

diversity and coexistence, understand a strong correlation between the current global issues and ones’

own communities, and actively join social activities in order to solve these issues. In this regard, global

citizenship education has same goal with Korean government’s educational policies such as “Education

for Happiness” and “Education for Character-building”. This session will examine current status of global

citizenship education in Korea and overseas, and discuss the best ways for educating our students as

future global citizens.

TA-2: Cornerstone for Trust: Safe and Reliable Education

The importance of nurturing social members who understand the dignity of life and share common values

of communities has been increased especially in current globalized, technology-advanced and diversified

social atmosphere. Without thorough protection against possible accidents, school violence and diseases,

it is very likely for our students to be exposed to danger, and not to trust our social system but to act for

self-interest. Indeed, school education that puts safety as one of its priorities is a cornerstone of trust and

sense of community. In this session, speakers and discussants will introduce the cases in other countries

of which protect their teenage students from violence and accidents, and also discuss how we all can

make safe and reliable environment in which our students to learn and grow.

TA-3: Start-up Education for Creative Talents in Korea

Major advanced countries encourage start-up education as a national task, and actively foster young

entrepreneurs with creative and challenging inspiration. Korea also tries to discover and develop human

resources with talent and passion in order to construct creative economy. On this point, we expect this

session to be a great opportunity to explore the start-up education and overall start-up venture policies in

other countries. This session, in addition, will cover successful cases of young entrepreneurs that were

trained by the start-up education, and discuss how government, universities, and companies work together

to build effective Korean-customized start-up education methods.

TA-4: Work Ethics for the Society of Trust and Integration

The jobs and work environments have changed rapidly in 21st century post-industrial society, and work

ethics is now one of the most significant qualities required to obtain sustainable social development. In

particular, many of recent heavy crimes and catastrophic accidents are ascribed to the deficiency of work


18

ethics of people who are in charge. In this session, speakers will lecture and discuss how to build and

maintain strong work ethics, and step forward to the society of trust and integrity.

▶ Track B

TB-1: Aging Workforce and Productivity

Korea is now one of the most fast-aging societies in the world. The retirement age of private sector

employees will be raised up to 60 as the new Minimum Retirement Age Bill passed the National

Assembly last year, and the number of executive-levels in Korean companies has increased a lot recently.

This social phenomenon changes the individuals’ perspectives on their job, and a large number of Korean

companies try to cope with the aging work population with strategies such as upgrading work training

system, improving work environment, and encouraging flexible work hours. Speakers and Discussants in

this session will talk about ways to maximize the use of the elderly human resources at workplace,

maintain their work-related skills and qualities, and adopt appropriate evaluation/reward methods in order

to motivate them.

TB-2: Social Network and Paradigm Changes in Recruiting

According to the result of ‘Social Recruiting Survey 2013’ published by Jobvite, a famous recruiting

platform for the social web, 94 percent of recruiters in U.S. use social media - such as LinkedIn,

Facebook and Twitter - in recruitment efforts. This session will cover the paradigm changes in recruiting

caused by the social network services, and the speakers will also discuss pros and cons of traditional

recruiting methods and the new social recruiting methods, and how companies select recruiting system

that fits best for their own.

TB-3: How to Recruit and Manage Key Human Resources

Identifying and making use of human resources plays even more decisive role in the success of a business,

especially after the global financial crisis. As such, businesses are making significant efforts to increase

their hiring expertise. After the high expenses and efforts on recruiting process, companies also have

difficulties in managing their employees. In that, it is not only difficult to attract and select excellent

talents but also needing much effort to train, motivate and retain them.

In this session, speakers will share their know-how on recruiting/managing key human resources and

discuss the ways to avoid miss-matching between the recruitment and management process.


19

TB-4: Competency-based Society Where Challengers Can Succeed

The core driver of national competitiveness in the era of creative economy is creative talent. Creative

talent refers to those who fearlessly pursue their dreams by converging their field of expertise with

diverse experiences and knowledge, creating new jobs and fields along the way. These creative talent

needs to be fully supported by allowing them to be employed based on their knowledge, experience, and

their achievements, rather than mere academic backgrounds or resumes.

Korea is taking a step toward becoming a society which merits individuals' competency and achievement

by reforming its past customs, culture and practice which solely valued individuals' educational

background. Nationwide effort has been made to reorganize the education and training system to focus

more on practicality in the workplace, and to make sure that employment, promotion and wages in the

workplace are based on individuals' competency and performance. In this session, we will look into the

cases of innovation at both corporate and school levels, and find out the role of our society to facilitate the

culture which values individuals’ competency to take root in Korea.

TC-1: Creating Jobs for Women

2013 Korean female employment with 53.9% is the highest level since 2000, but it is still a low level compared with the OECD average of 57.2% (in the 15 to 64 age range, 2012). Especially, women in their 30s’career discontinuity by childbirth and rearing is 52.5% and a third of them haven’t been employed again. Because of childbirth and rearing problems, their economic activity rate with 56.0% is very low level compared with men’s rate with 93.3% although women in their 20s’ economic activity rate with 62.9% overtakes the men’s rate with 62.6%. The women’s career discontinuity is wreaking havoc on the utilization of human resources and wage differentials. In this session, we would like to discuss career maintenance support to create jobs for women and policy plans for customized reemployment support and work family compatibility.

TC-2: Retirement Extension & Jobs for Middle-to-Old Ages

Proportion of the elder population over the age of 65 out of the total population of South Korea is about 12% currently, and it is expected that the proportion will be more than 20% and Korea enter a super-aging society in 2026. It is presented to the extension of retirement age as a solution to aging society. Behind deferred retirement, there is a concern of delaying economic growth because the baby boomer generation (born in 1955-1963) who has led to the development of the Korean economy starts to retire in earnest. There are different perspectives on the extension of retirement age. In case of middle-aged preparing for their retirement, they are


20

welcome the policy because they can work even one more day. On the other hands, younger people finding jobs are very worried that companies could reduce hiring new recruits and it caused insufficient employment if older generation delays their retirement. Given the rapid rate of aging, it is inevitable to enforce extension of the retirement age. However, there is a concern that it brings out limitation of job creation so other supplement policies should be prepared. In this session, we would like to discuss the employment of middle-aged, extension of the retirement in an aging society, and seek solutions to the reduction of youth employment.

TC-3: Roles of Labor Union for Expanding Jobs Entering the 2000s, the advanced employment problem such as ‘jobless growth’ became the conversation topic in Korea. In other words, job creation has become the most important problem in the relations between labor union and management. For job creation, the business communities, labor union and government need to work together to compromise and find consensus. When labor unions play social roles, they can be supported by people. On behalf of this, they need to contemplate carefully what they can do for job creation. Their social influence will be decided whether they find the solution or not. Policy researchers from many countries suggest that the roles of labor unions are to retrain an excessive wage increase and political and violent strike, to reconsider the flexibility of internal labor market, and to innovate workplace. In this session, in an era of jobless growth, we would like to discuss the roles of labor unions for improvement of the employment rate.

TC-4: Roles of Government and Companies for Creating Quality Jobs

Now, the challenges facing Korea are as follows; first, it is experiencing a rapid slowdown in economic growth since 2000s. Intensified competition in key industries, low fertility rate and aging are the main factors behind such sluggish growth. This also contributes to concerns on decreasing economically active population. Second, as enduring job-less growth, the social problem is deepening such as the polarization of businesses and income distribution. Third, youth unemployment became a serious problem and its rate in 2013 reached 2.6 times more than the unemployment rate of all ages. Also, it was founded that the labor force participation rate reached only 71% of all age groups. Job creation policy of the government is directly connected to people’s life and is significantly related to the economic situation of the country and changes in the labor market. In other words, in response to changes in the labor market and the impact of the economic situation, the direction of the job creation policy of the government has to change as it has a direct impact on people’s life. Thus, it is very important to take a look at the changes in the labor market of major countries. In this session, we would like to discuss the role of business and government for job creation.

TD-1: The Art of Emotion Coaching

Our society has already too much of a negligence on lives. Dreadful murders occur on daily basis.

Economic inequalities arisen from materialism and through economic recession, twisted code of ethics

upon education-obsessed society, unguaranteed future of those youths, lack of welfare or lack of security

of the weak in the society, and the reasons can go on limitless. This can all sum up to damaged trust

between people in the society. Globally famous of family relation cure, Mr. and Ms. Gottman, will present

ways that can gauge current status of family relationship, gradational methods that can improve

relationships after a crisis, and a variety of approaches to improve relationships.

TD-2

Education for Creativity: Teach Them to Be Curious

30% of Nobel Prize Awards, Ivy League schools graduates, and 40% of millionaires. Jewish are those people with astonishing accomplishments and they are only 0.2% of the world’s population. The words "father" and "question" are known to be the keywords behind their success as they tell us that Harvard University's essay examination was easier than discussing with their parents on dinner table. Jewish youths grow up discussing and debating fiercely with their fathers. They always raise their hands up confidently to solve their curiosity and confidently express their opinions on peoples’ question. In this session, the CEO of Global Excellence in Israel will introduce the strengths of creative bringing up methods of Jewish, how to apply them in details and the suggestions on how this Jewish education could apply to other countries' education.

New Global Trends In MBA Education

The world's famous MBA schools educate their students upon the idea of that students could develop leadership skills with training rather than being born with a talent. Many graduates from Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and other MBA programs are now leaders such as presidents of countries, global CEOs, CEOs of non-profit organizations, and so forth. What are the secrets of MBA schools’ education in raising their students to become leaders of organizations? The President and CEO of GMAC will introduce the new global trends in MBA education.

TD-3: How to Advance K-MOOC

As the industrial society is giving way to the new era of creative economy, the first challenge that Korea's education faces today is fostering creative talent. The second challenge is reforming the existing high-cost, low-efficiency education model. As the life-cycle of knowledge is


22

becoming ever shorter, the importance of lifelong education is emerging and more emphasis is being put on creative thinking and problem-solving ability over rote learning. That is why the education model needs to keep up with the changes by transforming itself from the previous model of cramming that highly depended on teachers to student-centered and active learning. The New York Times named the year of 2013 as "The Year of the MOOC" following MOOC’s explosive growth, providing quality education for all, wherever they are, at low cost or for free. Witnessing the skyrocketing growth of the MOOC in the US, countries around the world started to develop their own MOOC. For example, edX and Coursera were born in the US, while the UK developed its own FutureLearn. Meanwhile, France and China have decided to use the edX platform by establishing partnership with the US. We will discuss the future direction and strategy to develop Korea's own K-MOOC, which includes lifelong and higher education, by observing changes in the global trend. TD-4: Cultivating Future Young Entrepreneurs

One of the overwhelming trends of the 21st century, the age of the Creative Economy, is the focusing on an innovative idea which leads a tremendous effect on the value of the company. In this economic system, the most critical success factor is finding and raising creative gifted person in their early age. Thus, Korean Intellectual Property Office(KIPO) and the Korea Invention Promotion Association(KIPA) coordinated The Future Creative Entrepreneur project in order to support selected middle and high school students who are talented and passionate in entrepreneurship and have a dream to be future Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. Two of the top universities (KAIST and POSTECH) in Korea have provided specialized educational programs for gifted young entrepreneurs in Korea. According to Steve Jobs, he started his company not for making money but for changing the world and it was his only dream. This session will include the experts’ presentation (global entrepreneurs, venture capital investors, and educators) in the business area and will offer the opportunity for audiences to be inspired by their passions and know-how related to achieving their dream of changing the world. Furthermore, this session will provide a future entrepreneur’s presentation focusing on how the young person designs her own dream of the change the world.
