Speakers' Profile 講者簡介

Mr. Steve Wozniak
Apple Co-Founder/ Efforce Co-Founder
A Silicon Valley icon and philanthropist for the past three decades, Steve Wozniak helped shape the computing industry with his design of Apple’s first line of products the Apple I and II and influenced the popular Macintosh. In 1976, Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer Inc. with Wozniak’s Apple I personal computer. The following year, he introduced his Apple II personal computer, featuring a central processing unit, a keyboard, color graphics, and a floppy disk drive. Wozniak returned to Apple in 1982 and retired as an active employee in 1985, immediately after being awarded, along with Jobs, a National Medal of Technology by U.S. Pres. Ronald W. Reagan. Wozniak spent the ensuing decades engaged in philanthropic causes, especially involving the education of children and in volunteer work teaching computer enrichment classes to preteens. In 2006 Wozniak published his autobiography. Steve Wozniak is starting Efforce, 45 years after co-founding Apple with Steve Jobs. Efforce is the first blockchain-based platform that connects the demand and supply of energy efficiency investments. Investors can participate in energy efficiency projects by acquiring tokenized future savings while companies benefit from such improvements “at no cost.” Using blockchain, “a smart contract redistributes the resulting savings to token holders and the companies without intermediaries based on exact consumption/savings data.” According to Wozniak, “energy consumption and CO2 emissions worldwide have grown exponentially, leading to climate change and extreme consequences to our environment. We can improve our energy footprint and lower our energy consumption without changing our habits. We can save the environment simply by making more energy improvements,” he said a statement about the company. Wozniak created Efforce “to be the first decentralized platform that allows everyone to participate and benefit financially from worldwide energy efficiency projects, and create meaningful environmental change”.
