Bangkok, 15 December 2025 - The Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce (TICC) is pleased to announce that its Diamond Member, Wishulada Panthanuvong, successfully hosted a sustainability seminar, in collaboration with Singapore Management University(SMU), held at TICC Connect. The seminar welcomed faculty members and students from Singapore Management University and explored the theme “Sustainability Without Borders” , highlighting the importance of cross-border collaboration in advancing sustainable innovation.
Rooted in the integrated values of the Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce - where Italian expertise converges with Thai local knowledge - the seminar examined creative and practical approaches to resource refinement, environmental responsibility, and design-driven solutions. The seminar also aligned with SMU’s commitment to engaging with changemakers across multiple sectors, particularly within the social enterprise ecosystem of Southeast Thailand, reinforcing the role of academia in supporting real-world sustainable development.
As a first hands-on activity, the students participated in the creation of an art piece using recycled materials. This workshop, moderated by Wishulada, was conducted under the concept “Refining Resources Through Art & Design,” encouraging participants to rethink waste as a valuable resource through creativity and design thinking. This was followed by a session on “International Partnerships for Lasting Change,” presented by Ms. Phanatchakorn Muangfak, Representative of the Thai-Italian Chamber of Commerce, together with Mr. Nattakorn Asunee Na Ayudhaya, General Manager of Social Enterprise Thailand. The speakers shared insights on collaborative frameworks and the role of international cooperation in driving long-term social and environmental impact.
In the concluding session, Mr. Teerachai Suppameteekulwat, Founder of Qualy, delivered a presentation titled “Factories for a Circular Future.” He shared his experience in sustainable product design and industrial-scale plastic upcycling, offering practical perspectives on how circular economy principles can be implemented within manufacturing and design industries.
The seminar reaffirmed TICC’s role as a bridge between Italy and Thailand in promoting sustainability, innovation, and responsible business practices, while empowering the next generation of leaders to contribute to a more inclusive and circular future.
