In his remarks to the participating startups, Mr. Chaiwat shared, “Being a startup is just the beginning. What truly matters is having the courage to think differently, to try, to take action, and to not be afraid of failure - because every failure is a valuable lesson and experience.”

He emphasized that true innovation does not always require cutting-edge technology. What matters more is the ability to develop competitive, scalable solutions that meet real-world needs. He further noted that focusing on quick-win applications without sustainable direction may yield only short-lived outcomes. Instead, startups should concentrate on solving real problems, making the most of available technologies, and most importantly, scaling up and commercializing in a way that drives genuine growth. That is the true definition of success.
