The success of a Niche AIoT Business Model!

In this week’s podcast, Ken Forster interviews K.C Liu, Chairman and co-founder of Advantech, a nearly $2 billion global industrial intelligence leader.

After working for Hewlett Packard as an R&D Engineer and later a sales engineer, K.C. joined two HP colleagues to found Advantech in 1983, as a leader in innovative, embedded and automation products and solutions. He continues to lead the company as Chairman driving its recognition by Interbrand, every year since 2013, as a Top 10 Global Brand from Taiwan.

Some of the discussion points during this interview:

• What inspired you and your co-founders to co-create Advantech?
• To what do you owe the success of Advantech?
• When did you first recognize the potential of the ‘Internet of Things’?
• Advantech’s mission is ‘Enabling an Intelligent Planet’. What does this mean to you?
  
• Can you describe what co-creation means to you and how the AIoT Ecosystem fund plays a part in delivering that?
  
• What are you most proud of and anything you would have done differently?
