Up The Ante - The Story of Flexible Glass

There was a fable about a Roman Emperor, Tiberius who beheaded the inventor of flexible glass for fear this invention could turn the value of gold and silver to no more than dirt. This story was shared at the Enterprise Breakaway 2015 this year and one of our panelists,  Adelaine Foo, founder of TOC Automotive College, sheds light on how she is pioneering the front of a stigmatised industry, and inventing the ‘flexible glass’ of education. Pretty good for an entrepreneur with a Masters’ Degree in Chinese Opera, no?
