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 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 policy-as-code and the architectural design of autonomous agentic frameworks for manufacturing. Beyond his focus on GBS environments and the Twin Transition, Liao specializes in linking technical engineering standards with broader frameworks, such as the 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.
