NOVEMBERASIA BUSINESS OUTLOOK19Thailand, that is home to rich cultural heritage, and whose economy is increasingly important in Southeast Asia, has long been at the center of entrepreneurship. More importantly, women are accelerating the trend-no strangers to success themselves, they are actually changing industries and fueling innovation by the businesses they create. Women-founded companies have risen in different businesses in Thailand - for instance, in high technology and e-commerce, agriculture and social enterprises-increasing much diversity in the economy of the country, contributing many jobs, and as well impacting society. Thailand had, within the past few years, experienced an explosion of women-run businesses because the environment is changing fast toward being more favorably disposed to female entrepreneurship. This is complemented by the policies of the Thai government, which have been forwarded in empowering women, ensuring a more balanced workforce and supporting businesswomen with various programs that give financial rewards, mentorship, and access to networks. These programs would greatly influence bringing women into start-ups and entrepreneurial activities and leadership roles which have over the years been dominated by men in business.A larger number of women-founded companies in Thailand reveals a trend that goes beyond the acquisition of more women-founded firms. Instead, it indicates the presence of a wider source of innovation, sustainability, and social change through women in Thailand, not only in disturbing conventional industries but by making new ones so that the economy is diversified and more resilient. Such is also their potential in identifying market gaps, leveraging technology, and making impactful solutions that are going to lay the foundation for the next generation of entrepreneurs in Thailand. As more women continue to become leaders and start building successful businesses, they inspire future generations of women entrepreneurs to step into the same shoes that they hope to tread on.Thus, women-founded companies in Thailand prove that women's entrepreneurship constitutes one of the primary growth and transformation drivers occurring within this country. In brief, innovative ideas, commitment to sustainability, and focus on social impact ensure that female entrepreneurs in Thailand are indeed shaping industries to go with the positive spill-overs in their communities and beyond. Their achievement also tends to symbolize growing influence of women in business, but also into a future that does seem more inclusive, diverse, and prosperous for Thailand.Asia Business Outlook magazine provide insights on diverse industries and markets in Asia.
