Interview | The Digital Silk Road

For our francophone readers, we got interviewed by the French Chamber of Commerce & Industry in China for their monthly magazine “Connexions“.

The interview covers innovation models and the “Digital Silk Road” – how the West is importing ideas from Asia in the digital space. The magazine’s articles include great pieces about architecture, the art scene, publishing, etc.

pp. 108-110
> Can we talk about “Asian” or “Chinese” innovation, especially in the Internet and telecom fields?
> Can you give some background on digital innovations from Asia?
> How about China?
> What can explain the innovation boom in China?
> Are those innovations adaptable outside China? Do they have influence overseas?
> What is the cultural part in those successes?

This interview was inspired by our “Digital Silk Road” talk at the Open Web Asia conference.
