Me in Suzhou's SND, China: High-tech powerhouse

More globetrotting…

Hot on the heels of the BIO Japan 2009 conference I flew over to Shanghai and made the 150 km trip west to Suzhou – an ancient city mainly known in the past for silk production and UNESCO heritage sites, but now a powerhouse for high-tech manufacturing and biotechnology .

Suzhou has two major biotechnology sites: Bio-Bay (joint venture with Singapore) and Suzhou New District (SND).  My visit was to the SND region.

Jay Goldman: The recipe for good apps

I caught up with Mr. Mobile himself, Jay Goldman, a few weeks back at MaRS. He was on official business, and not wearing his usual funky hat, but had much good info to share about things to keep in mind if you’re planning world domination through Facebook app development.

PLUS – he’s a really funny guy.
