Amoureux de nos smartphones nous avons quand même un inavouable reproche à leur faire : y rentrer du texte tient plus du chemin de croix que de la partie de plaisir. L'écran tactile est un délice, mais le clavier virtuel un calvaire. C'est ce qu'ont compris, dès 2008, quatre jeunes chinois issus des meilleures universités de Shanghai et employés dans les multinationales présentes sur place (Microsoft et Intel entre autres).

Comment les innovateurs trouvent de l’argent
FrancisPisani's insight:
Entrepreneurs, ingénieurs et designers sont indispensables à toute idée qui aspire à devenir innovation. Il en va de même des financiers, ou en tous cas des gens qui sont prêts à mettre de l'argent dans des projets encore un peu fou. Sans eux, la plupart des startups ont du mal à décoller, en tous cas à s'imposer. La bonne nouvelle c'est que les innovateurs du monde entier commencent à trouver des investisseurs. Delete the scoop?

La plus grande vertu de la conférence LeWeb (dont la 9ème édition vient de se tenir tout près de Paris du 4 au 6 décembre) tient au grand nombre de pays dont viennent les participants. "Près de 70" (pour 3500 personnes) selon ce que ma dit Géraldine Le Meur co-organisatrice avec son époux Loïc (deux entrepreneurs français installés en Californie). Delete the scoop?

C'est à Saïgon-Ho Chi Minh Ville que j'ai rencontré un des plus beaux exemples de l'esprit d'entreprise qui anime les diasporas créatives omniprésentes dans le monde de l'innovation (voir plus bas). Vincent Mourou et Samuel Maruta, deux français installés depuis plusieurs années, ne fabriquent pas de téléphones mobiles ni ne produisent de logiciels hyper efficaces. Ils prospèrent sous l'enseigne "Faiseurs de chocolat" avec un "gusto" comme on dit en musique, qui fait plaisir à entendre (et à goûter). Delete the scoop?

Une de mes plus grosses surprises récentes a été la découverte de l'importance de l'entreprenariat social en Chine. Dans ce pays dont on dit souvent – non sans raison – qu'il offre le pire des deux mondes (capitaliste et communiste), j'ai rencontré des gens qui s'attaquent à changer les deux… sans attendre. Ils ne sont pas encore légion mais prétendent constituer une tendance forte qui gagne du terrain dans la jeune génération. Delete the scoop?

The 1,300,000,000 population of the Chinese nation is seen by foreigners as an enormous potential market. Since the labor there is cheaper than developed nations, companies line up to manufacture and sell there. But this is changing, and the implications for information technologies are complex and, perhaps, surprising. Delete the scoop?

Even though we love smartphones, we do have a big problem with them: entering text causes more pain than pleasure. Touchscreens are awesome, but navigating their virtual keyboards is an ordeal. In 2008, four graduates of Shanghai’s best universities, who worked for multinational companies like Microsoft and Intel, attempted to address this. Delete the scoop?

The best thing about LeWeb (December 3-6, Paris) is the the huge amount of countries represented. The 3,500 attendees came from “almost 70 countries,” says event co-founder Géraldine Le Meur, who founded the conference – now in its ninth year along with her husband, Loïc. The couple, originally from France, are based in California. Delete the scoop?

In today’s world of innovation, creative diasporas are everywhere. I saw one of the best examples of how the entrepreneurial spirit drives them in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Vincent Mourou and Samuel Maruta, two French entrepreneurs based in the Vietnamese city for several years, don’t make mobile phones or disruptive apps. They make chocolate. These chocolatiers have succeeded with gusto, in the sense of the word’s use in music: what is pleasing to hear … and to taste. Delete the scoop?

One of the biggest surprises I’ve had recently was seeing the importance of social entrepreneurship in China. In a country that is often described as combining the worst of the capitalist and communist worlds, I found people who are trying to change both, and now. Currently there are few in number, but they are part of a trend that’s gaining traction with the younger generations. Delete the scoop?

Los mil trescientos millones de chinos, cuando no se utiliza tal cifra para provocar miedo, son en principio percibidos por los extranjeros como un enorme mercado a conquistar. Y dado que su mano de obra costaba más barata que en los países desarrollados, se precipitaron a vender y fabricar aquí. Tal dimensión importa, por supuesto, pero está cambiando y las implicaciones de cara a las TIC resultan más complejas y hasta podrían reservarnos algunas sorpresas… Delete the scoop?
