Of connectivity, cooperation, commitment, culture, communication, community and conservation: C asean is on a mission to make this approach to building an ecosystem less about buzzwords; more for value creation

At Echelon Thailand in 2015, Dr. Karndee Leopairote spoke of the best practices to engage missing ecosystem growth catalysts – but as startup-related activity from government agencies, universities, and even corporates grow exponentially in Bangkok and the region – how do you stay ahead of the noise (and tap on Thailand 4.0) to really make a sustainable impact?

As Echelon aims to connect Southeast Asia to Thailand, C asean has set out to connect Thailand to Southeast Asia.
