“TiEcon brings together an astonishing array of people from all walks of industry and society. By virtue of its own non-hierarchical culture and spirit, it encourages this mix of people to come up with new ideas, debate complex issues and most of all, help the learning process we all go through our entire lives. It is unique in this concept of brining together old and new, inexperienced and experienced, learned and learning, rich and not so rich. The power of the ideas that emerge from such an interaction is what drives all of us”
