An online exhibit named “100 Faces Of Thailand’s Innovation Inspirers 3” showcases a roster of 100 influential figures recognised for their motivating advancements towards sustainable global change.
This digital display is inspired by a book with an identical title, unveiled with the theme “Sustainable Innovation” by the National Innovation Agency.
The book narrates the journeys of 100 Thai individuals from various professions, all of whom have invented solutions that contribute to societal progress in a sustainable manner.
These individuals are classified into three key sectors, namely Planet, People, and Profit.
These sectors encompass six distinctive domains – environment, urban networks, health and well-being, privacy, rights and equality, as well as security and inclusiveness.
Featured individuals include:
Panchana Vatanasathien, the founder of the Rice For Doctors or Food For Fighters initiative, which received endorsement by the UNDP, representing the Planet sector.
Asst Prof Dr Jiraporn Arunakul, creator of the Facebook page Leang Look Nork Baan (Parenting Outside The Home), represents the People sector.
Nattapon Muangtum, the administrator of the Facebook page Kan Ta Lad Wan La Ton (EverydayMarketing.co), represents the Profit sector.
The objective of this initiative is to spur individuals towards generating more sustainable inventions, thereby elevating the nation’s position among the top 30 on the Global Innovation Index.
A notable international accolade awarded to an innovation from Thailand is dubbed “innovation for crafted living”, which spotlights Thai lifestyle, identity, and the framework of the cultural society.
Numerous instances of this are included in the virtual showcase. An electronic book format is also offered for accessibility.
