Mr Carroll is also the founder of the Pacific Rim Forum's newest initiative, Asia's Science-based Innovation, Life Sciences & Technology Summit which plans to alternate this equally important event semi-annually between China and Asia's other major emerging bio-science centers. This Summit is fully intended to be the Asia Pacific region's most influential gathering around the rapidly growing area of the Life Sciences which are widely expected to transform Asia's three largest industries: energy, health and agriculture. The Inaugural Asia Science-based Innovation, Life Sciences & Technology Summit was conducted to high acclaim in Beijing, June 2002, with the next to be held in Shanghai in September 2006.
