Khun Paron Israsena Na Ayudha, Director of Sasin School of Management, said, “This event brings the best of MIT to Thailand and sets them loose in no-holds-barred debates with the leading entrepreneurs of Southeast Asia. This is how practical learning happens, and we’re proud to be a part of this important event!”

By bringing together cross-sector experts and leaders, GSW has built a global support network, empowering and accelerating entrepreneurship in emerging markets, from Seoul to Madrid, Cape Town to Santiago. And now Bangkok. At GSW 2018, we will dream big. And together, we will make a better world.”
