ABSTRACT
Corning’s new tech will bring huge disruption. After much effort, Chuck is finally able to secure J/V funding for 50/50 co-development with Siemens in 1973. The costs start to go up. In 1975, for the second time in five years, the team at Corning has to decide whether to push ahead on optic fiber with the Siemens J/V, scale it back dramatically, or even exit. Siemens is a highly respected partner. By 1982, Corning is producing optical fiber with revenues of $10 million on a $100 million investment. Corning has converted its financial investment into a different form of capital: intellectual property, also known as intellectual capital. Hackers can see the value of Longevity DNA in preparing and harvesting future opportunities, it’s time to start evolving hackers' family ecosphere, nurture and build a Future-Forward culture, spot and develop their family talent, and build their Quantum Machine.
