Striving to achieve a symbiotic ecosystem of technology and humanity, SDF brings together thought- and action-provoking leaders to delve into the New T.I.M.E.+ [Technology, Information, Media, Enterprise] agendas and collaborate in shaping solutions for our future. Established as a non-profit social responsibility initiative, the Forum is organized by SBS, a leading national broadcasting network in Korea. 2015 marks SDF’s 12th Annual Conference and SBS’s 25th Anniversary. Watch Our Talks Alain de Botton with SBS Headline News Anchor Kim Sung Joon · Full session video 3 What We Do Three Key INgredients of SDF INSPIRING. IN-DEPTH. INTERACTIVE. √ INSPIRING - Main Sessions Every year SDF invites 40-50 brightest minds from around the world in the T.I.M.E.+ [Technology, Information, Media, Enterprise] areas. About 20-25 sessions take place over the two-day conference, with the formats including solos, panels, conversations and performances. √ IN-DEPTH - DeepDive Series Parallel to the Main Sessions are SDF DeepDive Sessions, a series of special symposiums designed to take a deeper look into some of the key industry and social issues, and draft practical solutions with recognized specialists. The solutions put forward at the sessions are shared with the public via broadcasting, campaigns and policy proposals, allowing them to trigger positive change in our society. √ INTERACTIVE - Networking During the conference and throughout the year SDF organizes networking opportunities that revolve around the theme(s) of our talks, ranging from casual meet-ups and official gatherings to exhibitions and concerts. We believe face-to-face interaction will always remain the most effective way to communicate and collaborate with SDF community members. 4 4 SDF 2015 Conscious Curiosity Searching for the Next Breakthrough Let’s begin with a question: Have things always been this way? Most of the discoveries, inventions and innovations that spearheaded human progress stemmed from asking “What if?” Curiosity, questioning taken-for-grantedness and envisioning a new world of possibilities, has been a powerful driving force behind humanity’s quests for the unknown. The inquisitive quests, however, seem to have been put on hold as we experience a prolonged period of sluggish growth. Technological breakthroughs with transformative potentials have become a rarity. For us to find new ways forward against this somewhat stagnant atmosphere, we now more than ever need to rekindle our ‘conscious curiosity’ that taps into our inventiveness and creativity with responsibilities for the future of humanity. Coming out of age are technological innovations that revolve around ‘connectedness’ and ‘intelligence’: The web of connections continues to expand involving ever more devices and people as robots evolve from being predictable to being adaptive and intuitive. Amidst this change, conscious curiosity will help us see the unseen and tackle the problems we face in novel ways. Marking the 25th anniversary of SBS the Seoul Digital Forum 2015, SBS’s flagship knowledge-sharing project, will explore the world with our renewed conscious curiosity. At SDF2015, we will ready ourselves to break the mold, face the changes and venture into a new realm of possibilities. 5 SDF 2015 Program Schedule *subject to change VENUE | ART HALL 1 (B2F) CONSCIOUS CURIOSITY SEARCHING FOR THE NEXT BREAKTHROUGH DAY 1 Wednesday MAY 20 DAY 2 Thursday MAY 21 Opening Ceremony & Keynote Address √ Trailblazers Keynote Address Opening & Congratulatory Remarks ‘‘Conscious Curiosity, Searching for the Next Breakthrough” 09:10-09:30 Kip THORNE 09:30-10:10 (Q&A with SONG Yoo-geun) JB STRAUBEL 10:10-10:30 Anthony E.

The spacecraft carries humans through a hypothetical wormhole to the heart of a distant galaxy. There they encounter and explore a gigantic black hole: They probe the tornado-like whirl of space caused by the black hole's spin; they probe the black hole's horizon, from which nothing can escape, and the extreme slowing of time near the horizon. And they send probes into the black hole and watch as the black hole collides with a second black hole, creating a wild storm in the fabric of space and time. The storm generates ripples called gravitational waves that travel out through the universe and back to earth, carrying pictures that reveal to humans on earth deep mysteries of our universe's warped side. Through this intergalactic journey, the man who imagined wormholes shows and shares with us the power of science that has blossomed from human curiosity. Visionary Kip THORNE Theoretical physicist / Executive Producer, Interstellar Q&A with SONG Yoo-Keun PhD Candidate, University of Science and Technology (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute Campus) 10:10-10:30 Telsa’s Electric Mission: Taking Batteries to a Whole New Level Electric vehicles [EVs] are all the rage. While the auto industry is known for high barriers to entry, the catalyst for the electric turn was a Californian startup founded in 2003, Tesla. The company has now set out to be more than an EV maker: it aims to be a driving force behind the clean energy revolution. What lies at the heart of Tesla’s innovative capability and ambition is the battery technology. The man in charge of developing the very technology, JB Straubel, tells us how his Li-ion batteries can revolutionize not only the way we drive our cars but the way energy is stored both inside and outside our home. Visionary JB STRAUBEL Co-founder & CTO, Tesla Break 10:30-10:50 7 √ Changemakers 10:50-11:10 Technology, Our New Emotional Language What we now call a 'phone' has become an integral part of our lives: it is a 'revolution' in the palm of our hands, powered by the advancement of technology. And this revolution was possible because technology met design, our emotional language. What does it mean to interpret technology as an element of design? What roles design serve in bridging technology and humanity? The man who dreams of a phone's next evolution and innovation, Lee Min Hyouk is on a quest to be the next changemaker. As the leader of the design team of the Galaxy Series, he talks about what curiosity is for designers. Visionary LEE Min Hyouk VP, Head of Design Team, Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics 11:10-11:30 The Future of the Internet is Powered by You The popup message “No Internet Connection” is every device user’s nightmare that leaves them unable to communicate. Open Garden has taken aim at this often precarious onlineness that has become synonymous with ‘being connected to the Internet’, with its off-the-grid messaging app FireChat. Making use of Bluetooth, WiFi and peer-to-peer networks, the app allows each device to directly connect to other devices nearby without having to depend on the Internet. The technology has proven to be a powerful communication tool for outdoor festivals, classroom chats, news gathering and civil uprisings as seen during Hong Kong’s umbrella revolution. And the magic of multipeer connectivity is that the more people use it, the better it gets. Micha Benoliel, CEO and cofounder of Open Garden, tells us how ubiquitous mobile connectivity can reshape the way we connect and communicate - and how the future of connectivity will be powered by you, for you. Visionary Micha BENOLIEL Co-founder & CEO, Open Garden 11:30-12:10 Embracing Cultural Shifts for Good In 1989, Korean American environmentalist Danny Seo started an environmental group at the age of 12 that soon grew to the largest teenage green nonprofit in the USA. Today, at 37, Danny is the CEO and founder of Danny Seo Media Ventures, a for-profit company that inspires millions of people how to marry sustainability with style into their everyday lives. As the Editor in Chief of his own namesake magazineNaturally, Danny Seo, Danny will talk about the importance of self-transformation in building a mission-based company. Just like trends, societies have cultural shifts that must be identified, embraced and used to evolve your own work and messaging. It’s the only way you can achieve the greater good and reach the largest audience possible, which in turn leads to incredible transformations in efforts to protect our natural biodiversity. Danny will guide us through his own remarkable journey from child activist to lobbyist to author to TV personality to Editor in Chief and how you, too, can use your passion to influence and inspire others. Visionary Danny SEO CEO, Danny Seo Media Ventures / CEO, Danny Seo Media Ventures / Editor-in-Chief, Naturally, Danny Seo The Largest Cleanup in History Dutch inventor Boyan Slat made waves in 2013 when his concept to rid the oceans of plastic by making use of the natural currents went viral on the internet. One year later, having worked with a team of 100 scientists and engineers, he showed that a single of his systems, deployed for 10 years, can clean up almost half the infamous ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch’, an area where a vast amount of plastic concentrates. He then went on to raise 2.2 million dollars through crowdfunding, and received the United Nations’ highest environmental award by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2014. At SDF 2015 Boyan will share his progress and how his team is preparing for the largest cleanup in history. Visionary Boyan SLAT Founder & CEO, The Ocean Cleanup *To be followed by Q&A on the Ocean Cleanup Lunch 12:10-13:10 8 √ Designers 13:10-13:30 The Supercell Story In the summer of 2010, Supercell was born and the founders had one goal in mind - making great games that people would play for years. Little did they know they would become in the ensuing few years one the fastestgrowing gaming companies ever with mega-hit titles Clash of Clans, Hay Day and Boom Beach. An important part of their story is their belief in the power of extremely small and independent teams of passionate people; being small means you need less management and fewer processes, both of which just make it more fun to work. Ilkka Paananen tells us Supercell’s story in the making and how its financial success has given the startup a unique opportunity to think very long term, be very patient, take big risks and do things that most people haven’t done before. Visionary Ilkka PAANANEN Co-founder & CEO, Supercell 13:30-13:50 Facebook, Connecting Curiosity People have an innate desire to know and learn, which first requires connections. Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. In this session, Dan Neary, Vice President of Asia Pacific at Facebook, will share Facebook’s ambitions and the solutions they are building to help people and brands discover what’s going on in the world and express what matters to them. Visionary Dan NEARY VP, Asia Pacific, Facebook 13:50-14:10 Collective Curiosity: An Army of Curious Fixers For 50,000 years, we made things, and we fixed things. Then, in the space of a few short generations, we stopped. We may have gained in lots of ways, but we’ve lost in equal measure - not only important skills but a connection with our world around us. Jane ni Dhulchaointigh invented the world’s first mouldable glue, Sugru, to help get the world fixing and making again. Hear her inspiring story and how her mission to inspire curiosity in others is a driving force behind a unique product and a growing community of curious fixers. Visionary Jane Ní DHULCHAOINTIGH Inventor & CEO, Sugru 14:10-14:30 *TBA Visionary Charlie MADDOCK Director, Business Development, Shapeways / Founder, Charlie Maddock Foundation 14:30-14:40 [DeepDive Special I] SDF Global Hackathon: Interview with Hackathon Winners Intermission 14:40-15:10 √ Explorers 15:10-15:30 Quantum beyond Nano In the beginning of the 20th century, quantum physics emerged as the ultimate principle of nature and universe, and became the basis of modern science and technology. Quantum physics began as an explanation of how material and light interact, provided new ways of synthesizing materials, and revolutionized the information technology in the second half of the 20th century through the invention of semiconductor devices, laser and others. Nanotechnology, which has pursued miniaturization through quantum physics, cannot avoid the fatal limit of ambiguity between 0 and 1 due to the quantum uncertainty principle. Quantum physics, which so far has been the principle for hardware only, opens a new era of quantum information technology providing the principles for not only hardware, but also software and operating systems. While nanotechnology takes the passive stance to avoid the quantum uncertainty principle, quantum information science actively uses quantum principles and introduces new technologies that are impossible to achieve with nanotechnology including quantum computers, quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, quantum imaging, quantum metrology and quantum sensors. Visionary KIM Jaewan Professor, School of Computational Sciences, Korea Institute for Advanced Study 9 15:30-15:50 Quantum Security Technology for 5G SK Telecom, the leader of the world's first 3G and 4G technology, is now focusing on the new item called "Quantum Safe Network". It has been well-known that quantum physics can enhance modern security technology. Modern security that is based on the complexity of mathematics - also known as, number crunchinghas been threatened by Moore's Law. To overcome this problem, SK Telecom is going to commercialize a quantum cryptography system this year to prevent network eavesdropping and a quantum true random number generator in a silicon chip next year. These technologies will bring modern and future security to a whole new level. Visionary Alex Jinsung CHOI CTO, Corporate R&D Center, SK telecom 16:00-16:20 Beyond Boundaries: The New Neuroscience of Connecting Brains with Machines What if you could control devices just with your thoughts? Pioneering neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis illustrates how state-of-the-art research on brain-machine interfaces makes it possible for the brains of primates to interact directly with mechanical, computational and virtual devices without any interference of the body muscles or sensory organs. His recent experiments provide us with clues to the fundamental links between brain signals and physical activities, while serving as an experimental paradigm aimed at testing the design of mind-controlled prosthetic devices such as the exoskeleton which allowed a paraplegic man to literally kick off the 2014 World Cup. How will the new neuroscience bring changes beyond our imagination, by using our imagination? Visionary Miguel NICOLELIS The Anne W. Deane Professor of Neuroscience & Founder of Center for Neuroengineering, Duke University 16:20-16:40 Surprises from Smartwatch Designed to Sense Emotion Over fifteen years ago, Rosalind Picard set out to see if she could create the world’s first wearable sensors to measure emotion. As part of this effort, she and her team built a sensor that could measure emotional arousal from your wrist. They watched the sensor data go high with engagement in students’ active problem solving tasks. They also found surprisingly high activation during certain phases of sleep, and showed that these sleep peaks were more helpful in predicting memory consolidation than were EEG readings. While working to measure stress to help children with autism, they discovered that activation deep in the brain, especially during seizures, also maps to patterns that can be read electrically from the surface of the skin on the wrist. These, and other surprising findings have led Picard and the Empatica team to develop a new sensor, Embrace, which will soon be available to the general public to help people better understand their sleep and stress, and to give alerts for seizures. Picard will demonstrate some of the basic wrist-worn sensor capabilities and tell stories about the surprising findings in this talk. Visionary Rosalind PICARD Professor, MIT Media Lab / Founder & Director, Affective Computing Research Group / Co-founder & Chief Scientist, Empatica 16:40-17:00 Melomics: Computational Creativity and the Genetics of Music Computer science is changing our lives. From the assembly line to social interaction, ubiquitous computing devices and the Internet provide the opportunity to reshape humanity - to “update” humanity, we might say. Online free education, open access to scientific research, or e-democracy are but building blocks of a modern Age of Enlightenment that has just started. Artificial Intelligence [AI] is the field of computing dedicated to model intelligent behavior, and much is expected from AI in coming years. Apart from mining big data or designing domestic robots, AI also focuses on one of the more intriguing aspects of the humankind: creativity. Francisco Vico will delve into the ingenuity found in biological evolution, how it creates from scratch, and how to embed it into creative machines. Visionary Francisco VICO Professor of Artificial Intelligence, University of Malaga / Computer Scientist & Hacker, Melomics Technology 10 17:00-17:20 [Special Conversation on AI] Redefining ‘Intelligence’: What Can We Expect from Artificial Intelligence? 60 years ago the legendary computer scientist John McCarthy coined the term “Artificial Intelligence [AI]”, defining it as ‘the science and engineering of making intelligent machines’. The field of AI has since made major strides, making it a key part of many of today’s applications ranging from robotics and electronics to customer service and healthcare. Is this increasing prevalence of AI something we should be cautious about or delve into? Bringing together three brilliant scientists – Miguel Nicolelis, Rosalind Picard and Francisco Vico - this session invites us to rethink what it means for machines to be ‘intelligent’ and how we can make our technology not simply more powerful, but more meaningful for the people who will live with it. End of Day 1 11 DAY 2 Thursday May 21 √ Investigators Keynote Address | 09:10-10:30 09:10-09:40 The Importance of Staying Curious “CSI” franchise creator Anthony E. Zuiker knows a lot about being curious. In fact, it’s how he describes himself as a kid growing up in Las Vegas. It’s what inspired the research into forensic science that led to the pilot script for CSI, now the most watched television show in the world. In this inspiring keynote, Zuiker will illustrate the importance of staying curious and share with the audience how curiosity personally drives him every minute of every day to disrupt every industry he touches. Visionary Anthony E. ZUIKER Creator & Executive Producer, CSI Franchise 09:40-10:10 Stirring Things Up! Gathering, analysing, producing and distributing reporting, especially investigative reporting that serves the public interest, has been flowering in ways never dreamed of. It has gone viral worldwide. But this practice is facing a crisis because, no surprise, the powerful want to control and often eliminate it, but more important its own credibility is often questioned. And then there is the problem: Who is going to pay for it? A few lessons from a half century "Stirring Things Up!" Visionary Lowell BERGMAN Pulitzer Prize Winner/Correspondent, Frontline/ Director, Investigative Reporting Program & Distinguished Chair, Graduate School of Journalism, UC Berkeley 10:10-10:30 *TBA Visionary Ralph RIVERA Director, Future Media, BBC Break 10:30-10:50 √ Experimenters 10:50-11:10 Curiosity of Being Yourself Creativity is the power that manifests when you are being yourself unrestrained by what already exists. Then what is it that makes you, you? It is curiosity - the power that is private and unique, the power that only you yourself can own, helping you become who you are, not anybody else. What triggers creativity is not rooted in the width or depth of one’s theoretical knowledge but rather in questions that naturally or instinctually spring out of curiosity. Creativity is a gift that an autonomous person offers the world. Visionary CHOI Jin-Seok Professor, Dep’t of Philosophy, Sogang University 11:10-11:30 Ground-up Innovation Legacy news organizations face a challenge typical of any incumbent enterprise: how to evolve the product so that it attracts new users. For more than a century, foreign correspondents at The New York Times circled the globe trying to make their American audiences care about the world. Now, The Times is trying to engage the world about the world. And many of those efforts are happening on the ground, in far flung places, in foreign languages, and surprisingly, they are driven by correspondents on the ground. Visionary Adam B. ELLICK International Senior Video Correspondent, The New York Times based in Europe / Member of the Innovation Task Force, The New York Times 12 11:30-11:50 *TBA Visionary Ronald HORSTMAN Managing Director, Studio 71 11:50-12:10 Scaling Creativity BuzzFeed’s creative culture is based on iterative editorial practices.

PFERDT Head of Innovation & Creativity Programs, Google 13:30-13:50 Hardware Startups: What Would Apple Do? The most valuable company on the planet today was not always one: it started in a garage in the 1970's. We've got to wonder: how would a Steve Jobs build a hardware startup today? One solution that Cyril Ebersweiler came up with was HAXLR8R, the world’s first hardware accelerator set up in Shenzhen, China. The founder of the one-of-a-kind accelerator tells us how it is building a global ecosystem of curious minds to pave the way for the next Apple. Visionary Cyril EBERSWEILER Founder & Visionary Punk, HAXLR8R / Partner, SOSventures 13:50-14:10 Creative Data: The Beginning of Creative Government The age of data for boundless imagination opens the door to ‘Creative Economy'. There is nothing new about the idea that our data will act as the linchpin of our nation's growth and the crude oil of the 21st century. Nowadays, Open Data Policy is being accepted across the world and Korea is also making changes to its open data policy with the innovation of ‘Government 3.0’. The convergence of creative ideas and industries creates added values and jobs all thanks to public data. The establishment of public data law has prompted Open Data Policy, creating new opportunities for the private market. Reflecting voices of people, data platforms are being built taking advantage of open data, giving birth to various types of data-related businesses. These changes are critical elements that will lead us to the new world of ‘Creative Government’ and ‘Creative Economy’.

The moment we stop asking questions is the moment that possibilities in our lives stop branching out above, under the spell of taken-for-grantedness. Animation is a form of artistic expression that breathes life into still images by connecting them. Erick Oh, animator at Pixar Animation Studios, has been striving in his own terms to revive our curiosity by creatively bridging and merging various fields of art. While working on animated features at Pixar that captivates audiences of all ages across the world, he has introduced his experimental independent films at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals including Cannes, Annecy Animation Festival and Hiroshima Animation Festival. In this session, Erick shows us how to ‘animate’ our lives together. Visionary Erick OH Painter & Filmmaker / Animator, Pixar Animation Studios 16:45-17:00 Slow TV: Understanding the Cow! ”Slow TV” gives us a unique experience; the feeling of being present in real time and space. From Norwegian Broadcasting Company's courageous commitment to a very special train ride – to a five and a half day journey with a Coastal ship, knitting around the clock and curious interest abroad for ≪that damn cow≫. Both Norwegian and international viewers are captivated. Could this be a counter-reaction to our stressed everyday life? Learn what it is, the history behind, and hopefully - at the end - you will understand the cow. Visionary Thomas HELLUM Producer, NRK / ‘Slow TV’ Advocate 17:00-17:15 [DeepDive Special III] Digital Parenting: Being Parents in the Digital Age “My kid spends too much time on his computer shutting himself up in his room.” “Why wouldn’t my parents let me use my smartphone when they use theirs all the time?” Tensions are running high in many families over the children’s overuse of digital devices. Parents are not happy that their kids are glued to the screens neglecting their studies; children are upset because parents don’t seem to understand things they do with devices are not just time-killers but are enjoyable and often necessary for them. Things have changed drastically over the past decade. In this new digital world, what is it that our children feel and experience? What are some of the untold, unnoticed stories in today’s parent-child relationships? The keys for a conversation can be found if we pay more attention to our changeable minds. In this session, Doh Young Yim seeks to discover hidden pieces of experience that will reconnect parents and children in the digital era. Visionary DOH Young Yim Professor, Graduate School of Culture Technology, KAIST 17:15-17:45 Experimenting with Landscapes of the Future Imagine a dance floor that turns your dance moves into electricity. Or a dress that reveals how you feel about others. Daan Roosegaarde, creative director of the Dutch social design lab Studio Roosegaarde, has been delivering boundary-blurring interactive landscapes by pulling technology out of the screen and integrating it into the real world. Best known for his internationally awarded projects such as Dune, Intimacy 2.0 and Sustainable Dance Floor, Roosegaarde’s latest projects take his conscious experiments a step further. Smart Highways, being trialled in the Netherlands together with Heijmans Infrastructure, make use of strips that absorb solar energy during the day and glow at night, making roadways safer, more energy-efficient and beautiful.

Some of the biggest players in the music industry are now digital and the comics industry has also undergone its digital transformation with the Webtoon as its main content format. The picture is rather foggy, however, when it comes to newspaper and broadcasting companies who are still struggling to identify the right strategies for their digital adaptation. This session aims to search for possible solutions for the video industry and its market from other media industries which have successfully gone digital, enduring their fair share of economic pain and sacrifice. We have asked venture capitalists to assess the video industry’s attractiveness and tried to identify new possibilities the Internet of Things can bring to the industry. The aim is to help the industry more effectively surf on the digital wave rather than being swept away or overwhelmed by it. We have tried to find the right question, not the right answer. We have listened to the real stories from the industry, not theoretical discourses. We want to share what we have learned with people who care about the future of Korea’s media industry. It is what his session is for.

Parents are not quite sure how to teach their children to be responsible users of digital media such as online games and smartphones. This DeepDive session unravels the issue of teenagers’ overuse of digital media by putting it in the context of parent-child relationships. We first illustrate the generational differences in their perceptions of digital media based on a survey of 1,000 parent-child pairs. We then identify how their relationships affect conflicts at home and digital media overuse. The real family stories gathered from our five-month workshops show how parents and children have come to agree on a set of rules by better appreciating each other’s needs through conversations. Last, we aim to identify policy demands by bringing together various stakeholders including government officials, industry representatives, parents and students, and draw up a list of key issues and policy tasks to guide the future generations’ digital media use. The session will share with the audience the results of our research, practical conflict resolution tips and a series of conversations on how to find better solutions not by disconnecting from digital devices, but by learning smarter ways to live with them.

Creator & Executive Producer, CSI Franchise 20 History in Brief Each year SDF strives to canvass a timely agenda that addresses key issues and trends shaping the future of our societies and industries. 2004 The Forum opened under the theme of Digital Convergence, focusing on the question of how businesses could strengthen their competitiveness in the era that we call the “digital age.” 2005 Dramatically increasing technological capabilities had many people wondering where such capabilities were taking us and for what purpose. Under the theme Quo Vadis Ubiquitous: Charting a New Digital Society, participants came to a consensus that it was not simply about the stunning capabilities of technologies, but about how man could use those technologies to make life better. 2006 Under the theme Being Intelligent: The Next Digital Evolution, the Forum helped to unmask some of the remarkable progress that many industries have made in developing intelligent technologies. As we did so, we also discovered the need to change some of our existing systems in order to experience the full potential of these innovations. 2007 The Forum was held under the theme Media Big Bang! Impact on Business & Society. Participants shared their extensive insights on how media is being redefined, and exchanged ideas on how to cope with the economic, political and social implications of this. 2008 The Forum was held under the theme Imagination: Explore T.I.M.E. (Technology, Information, Media & Entertainment), Space and Beyond. The Forum examined the power of imagination to inspire change and evolution in order to push the human race beyond. 2009 Under the theme Story: A New Chapter, the Forum explored the innovative and inspiring ‘stories’ of the digital age from the T.I.M.E. + industries, while also reflecting on how the global financial crisis handed the world a major opportunity to rethink conventional paradigms. 2010 Wrapping up the first decade of the new millennium, SDF2010 was held under the theme Renaissance Now: Shaping Another Breakthrough to discuss how we can craft and propel a new millennium Renaissance. The Forum contemplated the Renaissance’s legacy of encouraging a daring and creative spirit and explored who will be the Renaissance men and women to shape the coming breakthroughs. 2011 Themed Connected: Into a Shared Future, SDF2011 delved into the true meaning of connectedness amidst the transformative mobile revolution. Recognizing that connectedness is deeply rooted in history, the Forum discussed how we could make the most of technologyenabled hyperconnectivity for us to become more active agents of positive change and innovation. 2012 Extending our gaze beyond hyperconnectivity, SDF2012 was held under the theme Coexistence: Technology, Humanity and Great Hope for the Future. The event aimed to carve out new imperatives for meaningful coexistence between humans and technology, and how the coexistence can be materialized. 2013 Looking back at the decade of SDF, the 10th Anniversary SDF put forward ECOllaboration: Solutions for Tomorrow as the theme to pave the way for the next decade of vision-making. Putting on center stage the notion of a Collaborative Ecosystem, the event explored conditions for and promises of successful collaboration to build a sustainable and brighter tomorrow. 2014 SDF Season 2 commenced under the theme Innovative Wisdom: Technology for the Common Good. The Forum embarked on a new journey towards a more mature, sustainable and collective happiness – and a key to begin our successful journey, we believe, lies in ‘innovative wisdom’. 21 Our Past Visionaries SDF has had the privilege of welcoming a host of distinguished leaders.
