Professor Ian Fenwick, Ph.D., Director of Sasin School of Management noted that it is crucial to promote sustainability in business otherwise the world will be facing more climate change disasters.

“I look to the contestants to inspire by their ideas, to connect during the competition, to transform the way we live our lives, run our businesses, and the way we think of the future to create a better, smarter, sustainable world. NOW is when we need the best entrepreneurial efforts of our sharpest young minds, to develop businesses that strive for sustainability before it is too late. Whether they create start-ups or eventually join big companies they will provide the points of disruption, of new thinking, that will enable us to thrive in this world of perpetual disruption,” said Professor Fenwick.

We have seen 30 percent of the teams successfully run their business with a crowdfunding value of around $230 million,” said Dr. Suracha Udomsak, Chief Innovation Officer and Executive Vice President-New Business, SCG Chemicals Public Company Limited. “We fully support the birth of startups that will turn into unicorns by getting the strongest teams from regions around the world to present their business plans through expert consultations from leading companies, which will elevate the innovation ecosystem in Thailand, and create networks and friendships among startups.”
