K-Horn Science Incubator
In the past thirty years, Li-Chang Kuo’s K-Horn Science Incubator has been incubating a lot of innovative products and industries. Mr. Kuo brought these things to the world and turned the “Contact” world into “Contactless”, and laid the foundation on the rock for rebuilding a new sanctified earth.
Some questioned that the sake of the name of K-Horn, Li-Chang Kuo, the founder told a very ancient story as following:
Once upon a time, there was a woman named Hannah, who could not conceive to bear a child. In bitterness of soul Hannah wept much and prayed to the Lord, the Lord remembered her, so in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. Hannah named her baby “Samuel”. Hannah said “Because I asked the Lord for my son.” Then Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; ~the Lord will give strength to his king, and exalted the horn of his anointed.”—This was why “K-Horn” did come from.
Incubator should be able to bear something from nothing, even since emptiness; above mentioned story “Hannah had a son Samuel in a very difficult situation”—reflect what Mr. Li-Chang Kuo ‘s intention was.
Three decades later, the time has proven that Li-Chang Kuo did right thing; he has gotten the feed back when he told to the delegates of APEC CEO Summit in Singapore about rebuilding the global economy by the Incubator in 2009; afterwards, the APEC Leaders’ Declaration said that “We the leaders of APEC, gathered in Yokohama under the 2010 theme of ‘Change and Action’ to articulate our vision of further building and integrating the Asia-Pacific region in the 21st Century, and the paths to realize that vision. The multilateral trading system should be promoted and strengthened. We will enhance the investment environment and regulatory cooperation for innovation in life sciences. We will take concrete steps toward realization of a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP), which is a major instrument to further APEC's regional economic integration agenda. To this end, APEC will make an important and meaningful contribution as an Incubator of an FTAAP by providing leadership and intellectual input into the process of its development, and by playing a critical role in defining, shaping, and addressing the ‘next generation’ trade and investment issues that FTAAP should contain.”
In addition, APEC will contribute to the pursuit of an FTAAP by continuing and further developing its work on sectoral initiatives in such areas as investment; services; e-commerce; rules of origin; standards and conformance; trade facilitation; and environmental goods and services.
Envision the unknown future, Li-Chang Kuo expressed that path must be rough and rugged, however, by the core thinking of the Incubator—“People through voluntary service to others”, the rough ground shall become level and the rugged places a plain.
