Description

Han-Teng Liao is an independent researcher based in Penang, Malaysia, whose academic work focuses on the intersection of innovation management, socio-technical systems, and digital ecosystems. He is a recognized contributor to the conceptual frameworks connecting bibliometric analysis with the concepts/ict-centric-innovation-ecosystem-toolkit|ITU innovation toolkits]]. His research explores the role of digital transformation in business ecosystems, collaborative practices for ecosystem innovation, and the application of industrial standards to complex socio-technical environments. Recently, he has expanded his expertise to include concepts/policy-as-code|policy-as-code and the architectural design of autonomous agentic frameworks for manufacturing. Beyond his focus on GBS environments and the concepts/twin-transition|Twin Transition]], Liao specializes in linking technical engineering standards with broader frameworks, such as the concepts/regenerative-socio-technical-framework|Regenerative Socio-Technical Roadmap for AI infrastructure. Through his role as a corresponding author in recent reviews and forthcoming conference papers, he continues to bridge the gap between abstract academic research and practical digital transformation strategies.
