Global BA-SE 2025 Details First round announcement

Principles and Rationale

Currently, climate change has become an urgent issue that impacts all sectors of society, including the environment, economy, and human health. Addressing this problem requires collaboration from all sectors, particularly the business sector, which plays a crucial role in creating innovations and carrying out activities that significantly affect the environment.

In response to this, the Faculty of Business Administration, RMUTI, Thailand has the idea to organize the Global Social Enterprise Competition, a competition for developing business plans under the concept of “Youth Empowerment for Global Change”. The competition aims to inspire and encourage young entrepreneurs, as well as those interested in social enterprises, to have the opportunity to develop ideas and business plans that address this challenge. The focus is on creating a balance between business growth and environmental sustainability.

This competition is also an open platform for undergraduate students from universities around the world. The competition will follow a business plan, with applications and submissions being accepted through the SE Competition system on this website.
