Global Expansion Track is the latest program to be introduced by dtac accelerate with the ambition to widen opportunities for highly capable Thai start-up companies to scale up in the global level. The program will leverage Telenor Group’s global digital capability in possibly penetrate into 13 markets of 200 million customers. A selected Thai startup company will receive many privileges such as: 1. A chance to penetrate into 13 markets of over 200 million customers; 2. An opportunity to work with world-class technology partners for a chance to become an unicorn startup in the future; 3. Business partnership packages from our world-class technology partners such as Google, AWS, Microsoft, IBM, and Samsung; 4. The first-ever corporate venture capital rewarded by dtac.

Mr. Sompoat Chansomboon, Director of dtac accelerate, said: “The startup ecosystem in Thailand has grown over 100 times, worth US$236 million in the last year. Especially, 70 – 75 % of startups in dtac Accelerate program have constantly received funds ranging from seed funding to Series A-level funding. Surely, this is a success of dtac Accelerate. However, in order to push the Thai startup ecosystem to the next levels: from Series A to Series B and to the ultimate Series C, it truly is a challenge for everyone since less than 5% of Thai startups could reach those levels. We really need more resources, investments, and management capabilities in order to leap to the high levels. Thus, we all have to involve in driving Thai startups to the global stage.”
