Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The high velocity of evolution in innovative technologies and business models is overwhelmingly challenging. This is partly due to the emerging of new technologies such as IoT, I4.0, deep learning, self-media, renewable energy, fintech¸ and partly due to international trade protection, which constrains the development of the global supply chain and regional tax-free agreement. The advent of the pandemic posed a tremendous setback on the economy but also gives birth to new opportunities of emerging industry and health promotion products, ranging from E-business, delivery platform, work-from-home appliances, facial mask design, disinfectant, food security, agricultural technology, and aromatherapy products. This sort of emerging industry will definitely play a major role in the future. Moreover, successful entrepreneurs in this era mandatorily require high-quality human mind and performance enhancement, which may be obtained from such training as aromatherapy, yoga, breathing, and meditation. Practical experiences have many proven benefits to human performance and health. This Special Issue aims to collect quality scientific contributions on the emerging industry of human performance and health promotion. To augment the readership of this Special Issue, we are working in collaboration with the 2021 International Conference on Emerging Industry and Health Promotion to be held in Puli, Taiwan, on July 2–4, 2021. The best papers selected from this conference will be invited to submit an extended version for possible publication in this Special Issue. We also welcome contributions (research and review articles) covering a broad range of topics on emerging industry and human performance and health promotion, including (though not limited to) the following:
