The ‘ESG to Capital for Tech Entrepreneurs’ initiative aims to strengthen local tech entrepreneurs by enhancing their understanding of applying ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) principles to analyse investment risks and assess company valuations, especially in establishing fundamental ethical dimensions, such as corporate governance, partnership governance, financial governance, or shareholder governance.
According to AIS StartUp Programme Manager Dr Srihathai Prammanee, this initiative gathers knowledge from various perspectives, including state policy perspectives on sustainable development and relevant working directions supporting startups and driving the country’s digital economy.
The ESG to Capital for Tech Entrepreneurs programme includes robust content from partners and speakers from leading national organisations who will share experiences and exchange insights throughout the full three-month duration.
“We believe that the key to sustainable growth for startup entrepreneurs does not solely rely on capital, but also on skills, knowledge, digital tools, solutions, and even market access and customer base. Therefore, the approach of Partnership for Inclusive Growth has been upheld by AIS The StartUp consistently. This approach can propel entrepreneurs to establish a robust business foundation, especially through strategising ESG, which significantly impacts business operations. It reduces risks, prepares readiness, and opens doors to opportunities for accessing the capital market and scaling up the organisation’s growth in the future,” Prammanee noted.
