The bustling city of Bangkok, Thailand, is set to host an event that positions itself at the forefront of entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability.

A Global Summit in Bangkok: GCEC Asian Debut
One of the standout features of the SasinIEW is the Asian debut of the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers (GCEC) meeting, branded as the “New Frontier: Bangkok Summit 2024.” This summit represents a groundbreaking moment, marking the first time the GCEC meeting is held outside North America and Europe. Under the theme “Inclusive Entrepreneurship Driving Impact,” the summit aims to catalyze societal and business changes through inclusiveness and impactful entrepreneurial actions. Emphasizing Southeast Asia’s pivotal role as an entrepreneurial hub, this event promises to channel the region’s innovative energy into growth and transformation.
The Bangkok Business Challenge 2024: A Stage for Global Innovators
Another cornerstone of SasinIEW is the Bangkok Business Challenge 2024 (BBC 2024), powered by SCG Chemicals (SCGC). Esteemed as Asia’s longest-running student startup competition, the BBC 2024 serves as a global platform for young entrepreneurs to showcase their innovative ideas. With sustainability and impact being key evaluation criteria, this competition aligns with Sasin’s vision of transforming business practices for a sustainable future.
Spotlight on Family Enterprises: The FECC-AP 2024
The Family Enterprise Case Competition – Asia Pacific 2024 (FECC-AP 2024) completes the trio of events at SasinIEW. By focusing on strategic analysis of regional family businesses, the FECC-AP highlights the significance of family-owned enterprises in driving economic growth and sustainability. The winners of this rigorous competition will proceed to the global finals in the United States, showcasing their prowess in strategic thinking and business acumen.
Building Connections for a Sustainable Future
The SasinIEW is more than just a collection of events; it’s a platform for sparking discussions, networking, and collaboration across various sectors. With a focus on inclusivity, the week aims to bring together a diverse mix of stakeholders to exchange ideas and forge new connections. This synergy of academia, industry, startups, and governmental institutions is pivotal in shaping a sustainable and impactful business landscape.
Participants will not only engage in deep, meaningful discussions but will also have the opportunity to explore the vibrant culture and hospitality of Thailand. Bangkok’s position as a gateway to Southeast Asia offers a dynamic backdrop for an event focused on innovation and impact.

This event underscores the importance of collective efforts in transitioning toward a thriving, sustainable world. It serves as an invitation to all those passionate about making a positive impact through innovative and sustainable business solutions.
In closing, Bangkok and Sasin together act as a hub of inspiration and transformation. They invite entrepreneurs, students, academics, and professionals from around the globe to convene, share their insights, and work towards a common goal of fostering a better, smarter, sustainable world.
