New Energy Nexus is a one of a kind organization leveraging a global ecosystem of supporters towards clean energy, ranging from entrepreneurs, innovators, VCs, researchers, you name it! We have supported the incubation and acceleration of startups since 2016.
The DTS Symposium is the closing event of the 2022 DTS program, where NEX supported and facilitated the collaboration between 8 domestic and international startups and 4 large Thai corporates to work on a PoC. The DTS Symposium will be scaled event inviting stakeholders from the private sector, startups, the government, academia, and regional levels to discuss how to engage and drive forward Thailand’s low-carbon economy.
We are happy to announce the matching result and the decarbonization solution they are preparing to collaborate together. During the 3-months sandbox period, startups will get the chance to conduct their Proof of Concepts (PoC) in a corporate-startup partnership. Additionally, they will receive the support of mentors. The sandbox provides a safe environment for startups and corporates to experiment and tune the development of their decarbonization solutions, with the aim of upscaling the net-zero carbon future together.
Officially hosted by the Ministry of Energy Thailand and co-hosted by PTT, the exhibition and summit will take place in person at BITEC, Bangkok (Thailand) from 20 – 22 July 2022. WE are honored to have a spot on the panel with our Program Associate Phing sharing our lessons learned on the SolarSTEP Program.
SolarSTEP Thailand is expanding! Today, we had the privilege to spend time with 45 ambitious and hard working community representatives, mechanics and engineers from every region of Thailand participating in the second SolarSTEP training hosted by NEX Thailand.
Special thanks goes to Mr. Chalermpon Satayavutipong founder of Thailand’s first solar business Sunolar who shared his knowledge, experience,and recommendations. Over a 2-day training session, 27-28th August 2022 participants could learn to use the solar panel design and proposals software Open Solar, learn about technical considerations of solar panel, battery, and inverter installation, different types of solar business models, and much more. The major goal of SolarSTEP 2022 was the outreach to rural communities as most of the knowledge and training is centered in the capital Bangkok. By equipping community representatives, mechanics, and engineers with knowledge they can use to implement solar projects and businesses in their local communities taking another step to widespread renewable energy usage!
