Since the early 1990’s, acquisition of knowledge asset and its effective management has been generally recognized by policy makers and researchers to be the key source of innovation and drivers for competitive advantage for firms, organizations, cities and regions, and has received high attentions from governments worldwide. To maximize knowledge socializations amongst participants, the first Knowledge Cities Summit was taken place in Monterrey, Mexico from 17 to 20 October 2007 and attracted about 500 participants from all over the world. The world premiere of this international conference features several conversation formats aiming at facilitating knowledge exchange and socialization amongst participants.
Organized by the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government, World Capital Institute and the New Club of Paris, the Second Knowledge Cities Summit will be held in 2009 to continue promoting global knowledge exchange and socialization. The Knowledge Management Research Centre of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Shenzhen Graduate School of the Harbin Institute of Technology and the Shenzhen Academy of Social Sciences will host the Summit in 2009 at Shenzhen. The 2009 Most Admired Knowledge City (MAKCI) Award will also be announced and conferred at the Summit meeting.
