One ASEAN Startup Award 2025 Pre-Event in Bangkok

Join us for the One ASEAN Startup Award Pre-event in Bangkok, Thailand, on 6 August – an insightful event on AI and Zero Emission solutions!
The One ASEAN Startup Award in 2025, presented by the ERIA Digital Innovation and Sustainable Economy Centre (E-DISC), recognises and promotes promising innovators addressing ASEAN-wide issues. The programme consists of three pre-events and a final event, all focused on AI and Zero Emission solutions.
The Bangkok round is the second pre-event, where 10 finalist startups around the world will pitch about their innovative ideas. Honourable guests from startup ecosystems and policymakers will also join to discuss startup scenes in ASEAN, with a spotlight on AI and zero-emission technologies.
Two winners will be selected from finalist startups and awarded a US$10,000 research fund each, aimed at fuelling their expansion plans as they make significant contributions to the research initiatives of ERIA. Participants also have a chance to connect with startups and investors from the ASEAN region to explore business and investment opportunities!
This round, co-organised by ERIA, DEPA, and JETRO, will be held as part of the Techsauce Global Summit 2025.
