程式設計師、藝術家，及組織者王筱瑋說：看見和了解鄉間十分重要，能協助朝向更適合所有人居住的未來邁進。他們觀察到，一些最精心設計的創新都發生在世界上的鄉村地區，比如中國的雞農用生物辨識追蹤和區塊鏈來改善供應鏈的透明度。在這場演說中，他們提倡一種對鄉村的新觀點：不是缺乏科技或數位媒體素養的地方，而是謙遜創新的中心，著重的是社區和永續。

為什麼創業能在鄉間大放異彩？

Rural communities are driving surprising waves of entrepreneurship and tech creativity, often overlooked by those focused on cities. In Zhejiang, China, 70 percent of the world's pearls are produced, fueling online pearl parties in rural Indiana. From blockchain-tracked chickens to organic rice paddies governed by lottery, these places are not just catching up—they are reinventing how innovation connects to ecology and community. True progress comes from empowering people at the ground level, not just scaling up city-born solutions.
