Education Fueling Entrepreneurial Success

Chulalongkorn University alumni and National Cheng Kung University alumni are role models of successful entrepreneurs who actively practice the principles of innovative leadership in their business. These entrepreneurs have transformed the knowledge and skills that they gained when pursuing their academic courses into businesses that shape both regional and international markets. Chulalongkorn University is one of the leading universities of Thailand and the graduates of this university have always been enterprising. They have opened various types of start-ups that include technology-based start-ups and environmentally friendly start-ups among others, making a great impact to the Thailand economy. Such businessmen tend to use their knowledge of the local environment to the maximum while also following international tendencies; their businesses are located between the two worlds – traditional and innovative.

Likewise, graduates of the National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan are also considered as great entrepreneurs especially in engineering, technology and innovation. With a focus on research and new technology development, graduates of NCKU have both the skills and the attitude to succeed in highly competitive sectors. These people have managed to start businesses which not only operate in the competitive Taiwanese environment but also spread their operations globally. This is particularly evident in their business projects which can be characterized by a combination of innovative technology and relevance of the solutions to the society. The two sets of alumni are a classic example of how education transforms individuals into entrepreneurial minded individuals who will spearhead economic development.

It is with the view of staying updated with the emerging trends in these business landscapes fuelled by the academic prowess of these institutions that Asia Business Outlook has come up with a special issue containing stories of entrepreneurs who have demonstrated their capability through their expertise. To strengthen these business landscapes with their tightly-knit and result-oriented approach, they are setting new standards of effectiveness.
