As ASEAN deepens its economic and digital integration, Thailand is emerging as a promising growth driver and a strategic bridge within the region. The country’s well-established digital infrastructure—such as PromptPay—and its leadership in digital economy initiatives position Thailand as a key player in ASEAN’s transformation.

This session explores how corporate venture capital and startup leaders are working together to accelerate innovation and sustainable growth. Through collaboration models that combine corporate resources with startup agility—supported by ecosystem enablers such as the Thailand Fintech Association and global partners like MUFG—Thailand demonstrates how each stakeholder plays a complementary role in scaling practical solutions across ASEAN. Together, these partnerships not only strengthen Thailand’s innovation economy but also contribute to ASEAN’s broader goal of building an integrated, inclusive, and competitive regional digital economy.

The discussion will bring together voices from Thailand’s fintech community, MUFG’s regional strategy team, and Krungsri Finnovate, the corporate venture capital arm of Bank of Ayudhya (Krungsri Bank) in Thailand a FileAI executive, to share insights on how collaboration, financial innovation, and openness to global partnerships are driving ASEAN’s next growth engines.
