The Thai Embassy hosted the inaugural Seoul-Thailand Startup Innovation Space (STSiS) at the ambassador's residence in Korea, Wednesday, bringing together Thai startup founders, Korean investors and accelerators to explore new opportunities for cross-border collaboration and expansion.
Jointly organized by Thailand’s National Innovation Agency (NIA), the program featured startup pitching sessions, networking activities and a luncheon designed to connect promising Thai startups with Korea’s investment and innovation ecosystem.
A total of 10 Thai startups selected through a competitive screening process participated alongside 10 Korean investors and startup accelerators. The event is part of the entrepreneurs' week-long program in Korea that includes training sessions, networking events and attendance at NextRise, billed as Asia’s largest startup and venture capital event, in Seoul from Thursday to Friday.
