In the speech, entitled "On Innovation Strategies: An Asian Perspective," President Suh said that for Asian countries such as China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan to continue to compete in the global economy, they must become innovators.

When it was launched in 1998, the Glion Colloquium immediately drew worldwide attention with “The Glion Declaration: the University at the Millennium,” prepared for the 1998 Paris UNESCO World Conference on Higher Education in the 21st Century. Every two years, the colloquium brings together in Glion, Switzerland, leaders from renowned universities and higher education organizations, along with influential business and government figures, from North America, Europe and other parts of the world.
