Investments in Innovation- 2021 Trends: Anndy Lian Commented “We should look into ASEAN.”

Day 4 of Digital Week Online Spring 2021 is “Innovation Day”. Investments and innovation work closely together. The panel “Investments in innovations – 2021 trends” has brought in speakers from different background.

Anndy Lian, Advisory Board Member, Hyundai DAC; Member of Gyeongsangbuk-do Blockchain Special Committee

“COVID19 has changed mindsets, it brings businesses out of their comfort zones. It also gives traditional businesses a chance to adopt new technologies, maybe crypto too.” Anndy Lian said. Gordon Einstein echoed by saying “Crisis is an opportunity for change.”

The panel also discussed how the west and east look at innovation. Richard Wang commented and quoting AI as an example. “USA has better technology in term of the algorithm. China has a good market. they have a huge market. But I do believe we have a substantial advantage over USA companies.” Aly Madhavji countered by saying data availability and protection is the key. “China has a different philosophy, and they actually tend to look at it more collectively. Their government can help to enable access to major companies to that data. But in Europe, it is very difficult to do these things.”

Lastly, Gordan asked where are the other opportunities that we should look out for. Nisa Amoils mentioned South East Asia and Africa. Anndy Lian also agreed with Nisa. “We should look at ASEAN as a bloc, there is a population of 700 million. This will be a big region for adoption and business for innovation.”

Prior to his blockchain stint, Mr. Lian played a leadership role in not for profit and quasi government linked organisations such as Singapore Business Federation and Singapore Institute of International Affairs where he worked alongside with policy makers, private sector decision makers and experts to create impacts for different industries.

“I have kept a low profile on this appointment. Thank you for interviewing me and covering this story. This appointment marks recognition not only for myself, but also for those who worked closely together with the same vision,” Mr. Lian stated during the interview. “Blockchain has evolved from its roots as a niche science to become a significant concept in the public eye, and the power that it has will be both subversive and revolutionary to all areas of the industry.

Integrating “Blockchain + IoT + AI” into traditional industries

Integrating “Blockchain + IoT + AI” into traditional industries

Linfinity CEO Anndy Lian was invited as a keynote speaker at Huobi Carnival in South Korea, held from August 2 to 3.

Huobi Carnival was organised by Huobi, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world. Industry heavyweights and South Korean government officials gathered at the event to discuss the future development of the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

Blockchain needs to be combined with traditional industries

In his keynote speech, Lian introduced blockchain anti-counterfeit tracking technology and its business applications. He said, “The development of blockchain has brought new opportunities for traditional industries. But we need to clearly understand that blockchain’s development cannot be separated from traditional industries.”

Lian believes that due to blockchain’s transparency, immutability, and traceability, it can effectively resolve pain areas in various industries.

“I do not think blockchain has created a new industry. On the other hand, I think it is going to revolutionise other industries’ methods of growth by providing a new technological tool,” Lian added.

“Blockchain + IoT + AI” combination to combat counterfeits

According to a recent report from Research and Markets, the total loss caused by counterfeit products adds up to USD 120 billion in a year. That figure is estimated to increase to USD 182 billion in 2020. As counterfeit products become increasingly prominent, brands need to invest more time and money into protecting their brand image and products.

However, traditional anti-counterfeit technologies rely on centralised platforms and often use technology in limited ways. This makes them susceptible to malicious attacks.

Lian said, “The appearance of blockchain sheds light on a new future for different industries. For anti-counterfeiting, simply relying on blockchain technology will not be enough. If current technologies are effective 60% of the time, we need to bridge the remaining 40% by using blockchain, IoT, and AI.”

“This is how supply chains should be like. Decentralised data storage platforms can solve security and credibility concerns. AI can ensure that information entered is reliable. IoT allows more objects to be connected and communicate freely.”

“When using blockchain for anti-counterfeit purposes, and we need to revolutionise current methods at the same time. This will allow for a greater degree of integration and realise the true value of blockchain,” he added.

In an interview that Lian gave to the South Korean AsiaeTV, he said, “Blockchain will play an important role. And customers are very important in the process of blockchain commercialisation. Linfinity has already formed partnerships with multinational companies from diverse fields, including Taiwanese cigarette brand Alishan Group. Lian said, “Next, we are going to walk out of Asia and enter the European market, look for more industry partners, and drive blockchain’s commecialization.”
