Dear Colleagues, We are currently seeking papers for the 2013 "Suzhou-Silicon Valley-Beijing" International Innovation Conference, which will be held in Suzhou, China during July 7-8, 2013. The theme of the conference is *Technology Innovation and Diasporas in a Global Era.* * * Technology innovation is an important driving force for economic growth and wealth creation. Diasporas have played significant role in promoting technology innovation across all walks of life around the world. However, academic research results are still inadequate and lagging in empirical and theoretical justifications of the significance of diasporas.
