Thai SME Confederation partners with KMITL to drive research into real-world business and cultivate a new generation of entrepreneurs
The Thai SME Confederation has signed a memorandum of academic cooperation with King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) to promote the application of research and innovation in the real business sector, with a focus on developing the potential of small entrepreneurs to be strong and competitive in today's market.
This collaboration has a key objective of preparing a new generation of entrepreneurs, or "Next Gen," to be ready for business through the use of technology and knowledge from the academic institution. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to access new innovations that will help reduce costs and increase production efficiency.
The Thai SME Confederation believes that bridging the gap between the academic and business sectors will be a key driver for the country's economy. KMITL will play a role in providing academic consultation and applying modern technology to solve the problems that entrepreneurs are currently facing.
This project is considered a significant step in elevating the standards of Thai businesses to keep pace with the digital age. Interested entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to learn and develop necessary skills to further grow their businesses sustainably in the future.
In summary, this collaboration between the Thai SME Confederation and KMITL not only supports the commercialization of research but also builds a strong network between academics and entrepreneurs to collectively advance the Thai economy.
