SUMMARY:Lebanon: A Critical Nation in Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Will Lebanon set the Middle East ablaze? Since the mid-1940s\, Lebanon\, geo strategically located between Syria and Israel\, has a history of alternating sectarian violence and prosperity. Its geography favors commercial and financial success\, with a people weaned on trade and finance. Nevertheless\, Syria’s historical goal to dominate Lebanon\, Iranian efforts to use Lebanon as a base to threaten Israel’s existence\, continued sectarian conflict\, and Hizballah’s continued moves to prevent government reform are contributing to an impending collapse. With a hapless UN peacekeeping contingent in Lebanon and Russian and American forces in nearby Syria\, Lebanon’s collapse could ignite the region in open warfare. \nCancellation Policy: If you need to cancel\, please do so not later than 48 hours before the event. ACIR is charged for your meal\, so no refund can be provided. \nAbout Angela Khoury \nAngela Khoury was born and raised in Beirut\, Lebanon. The civil war in Lebanon did not stop her pursuit of an Engineering Degree\, graduating from l’Ecole Superieure des Ingenieurs de Beyrouth\, in 1990. \nHer professional career began in France in 1991\, joining a start-up company in fintech. In 1992\, she moved to the United States with her late husband\, Dr. Hanna Khoury. She continued her association with the French-based company\, Murex\, contributing to its growth from a start-up to an international company with over 2000 employees. \nWhile engaged in raising a family with three children\, and her professional responsibilities\, she remained active with her church and non-profits such as the Alif Institute\, an Arab American Cultural Center in Atlanta\, and later became its Executive Director. In 2018\, She joined the American University of Beirut (AUB) as the Associate Director of Development\, focusing on fundraising to support education and healthcare in Lebanon and throughout the Middle East. \nOver 30 years\, Khoury has frequently traveled on an annual basis to Lebanon\, maintaining close ties with friends/family\, business executives\, the American University of Beirut\, and members of the Lebanese government.

SUMMARY:Georgia Tech Symposium: Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Geopolitical Competition
DESCRIPTION:Taiwan has long occupied a critical position in the Indo-Pacific region. The island stands at the regional geostrategic and geoeconomic frontlines\, challenging China’s regime legitimacy and hegemonic ambition\, emerging as a tiger economy in the 20th century\, and now securing its role as an advanced technology production powerhouse. Today\, as the geopolitical competition between the United States and China heats up in the Indo-Pacific\, Taiwan’s role has grown even more crucial while the island’s security circumstances have become ever more precarious. \nTo discuss these challenging conditions facing Taiwan and help chart a roadmap looking forward\, this symposium brings together panelists\, each an expert in their field\, to create a nexus of thought and discussion on the topic. \nThe symposium covers two critical aspects of Taiwan’s role in the Indo-Pacific geopolitical competition. The first considers Taiwan’s central position in China’s geostrategic ambition and discusses how the world might ward off a Chinese invasion of the island. The panelists are top thought leaders and policy influencers in European and East Asian affairs and emerging technology’s war applications. The panel discussion will weave a synthesis of the implications of the current Ukraine war and emerging technology for China’s calculations and Taiwan’s deterrence. \nThe second panel will discuss Taiwan’s crucial position in the center of the tech war ramping up between the United States and China. In the age of AI and supercomputing in what some call the third industrial revolution\, Taiwan dominates some of the tech sectors\, above all the manufacturing of semiconductors\, that will determine which great powers have the edge with access to the latest military and technological innovation possibilities. The panelists meet at the intersection between East Asian affairs and technology and industrial policy expertise to discuss the challenges and opportunities for Taiwan amid the rising U.S. export restrictions and unfolding tech competition. \nCo-sponsored by the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Atlanta; the Center for International Strategy\, Technology\, and Policy; the Program on Emerging Technology and International Security at the Sam Nunn School; and the General Ray Davis Endowment Fund. \nFormat \nThe symposium will use a hybrid format with in-person and virtual components. The symposium will be broadcasted and recorded synchronously via YouTube\, enabling real-time interactions with virtual participants and continuing publicity post the event. \nAgenda (Coffee and light refreshment will be provided throughout the symposium)\n10 a.m. – 10:10 a.m. Opening remarks \nTECO Director General Wang and Senator Nunn \n10:10 a.m. – 11 a.m.  Keynote Speech: Why Taiwan Matters?

SUMMARY:Cleantech Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Humanity’s annual consumption of resources currently far exceeds the planet’s capacity to regenerate itself sustainably. To preserve the environment for generations to come and to address the challenge of global food security\, it is vital that we shift to cleaner technologies. While efforts in various countries are underway\, global collaboration on cleantech innovation is critical to achieving environmental objectives such as water conservation\, sustainable agricultural practices\, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The ever-growing environmental protection challenges can only be met if the international community works together and coordinates its efforts. \nWith the aim of creating a dialogue and accelerating the sharing of solutions around major environmental challenges across the Atlantic\, the Consulate General of Switzerland in Atlanta\, the Swiss Business Hub USA in Atlanta\, and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia (UGA) are partnering to host the 2nd annual Cleantech Symposium. Focused on technologies related to controlled environment agriculture\, urban agriculture and sustainable water management\, the symposium will showcase innovative cleantech solutions from Switzerland and Georgia to make our societies resolutely more sustainable. For Switzerland\, the symposium presents a unique opportunity to demonstrate the vibrancy of its sustainability industry. UGA looks forward to hosting this event as a way to engage with a bustling\, international sustainability industry\, displaying its own research and outreach activities in the area of clean technologies through a poster competition\, and exposing faculty and students to fresh ideas and new possibilities. The Cleantech Symposium is organized with support from the Georgia Center of Innovation. \nOn April 19\, join entrepreneurs and scientists from both Switzerland and the state of Georgia to gain exclusive insights on clean technologies that can effectively address today’s challenges!
