The XV Triple Helix International Conference in Daegu is just around Corner. Scheduled in Daegu, Korea, 14-16, September, it will be convened with the theme of “The 4th Industrial Revolution, Design Thinking, and Triple Helix.”The Fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0) is characterized by a new social system where physical, digital, and biological dimensions are co-constructed, expected to bring about new technological opportunities as well as risks.

We will discuss the challenges arising from the Fourth Industrial Revolution to innovation systems and agents in the Triple Helix, while exploring how design thinking can be applied to exploit and expand the opportunities generated by new frontiers of technology in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
