GE CEO Jeff Immelt about India and globalization

In the recently held panIIT-conference at silicon valley, Jeff Immelt has talked about India and globalization. Click here for details.
I particularly appreciate following statements.
"India’s global success will be judged on how well it can “leave the country and become great global companies in the next ten years."
“In the end we need to earn the right to globalize.”
“There are four categories that might change the world: Solving a problem, redeployment to where profits get made, allowing people to achieve lower cost and allowing people to create new business models.”
“If I had one dollar to spend today, I would invest in solving the biggest problem today–the economics of scarcity.”
Solid speech!!!

Banquet hall

The Japanese Society for Molecular Imaging (JSMI) conference that took place last week on 28th and 29th June was a successful event. This year nearly 400 participants attended from all over Japan and expert delegates were invited from US and Europe to speak in plenary sessions. As hosts, our research group from BIRC had to take up different jobs ensuring everything goes in perfection. The conference venue was Phoenix plaza, located in the central Fukui. The conference hall was splendidly arranged with a large stage and huge screen for projection. I and my foreign colleagues were assigned the job of timekeeping for presentation sessions. There were some elegant presentations by expert speakers from abroad and home as well.
