CONFERENCE FOCUS We are living in the technology era and observing the impact of technology in every aspect of our lives, communities and societies. The centers of power are being defined by the development and management of technologies. Those who are able to create new ideas, develop new technologies and harness the capabilities generated by those technologies are setting the standards and leading the way for the rest of the world. As the rate of change increases and the technological system, socio-economic system, political systems and educational system become more intertwined, global leadership in every field is shifting toward innovative use and effective management of technology. The world will continue to change. That change will continue to be dominated by technology, especially as we start seeing the convergence of emerging biotechnology and nanotechnology with current computer, information and communication technologies.
