The project presents an opportunity for high school and vocational students across the country to submit projects that are related to energy innovation and the use of natural resources and environment to win the HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn's trophy, funding and scholarships as well as an opportunity to compete at an international level.
This competition is an opportunity for young people to present their ideas, projects, products or methods to solve social, economic and environmental problems, which is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our focus is on energy innovation and technology that can lower the costs and increase the reliability of energy sources, either in the forms of alternative energy development, energy efficiency improvement or effective and sustainable management of natural resources and environment, including the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle of waste management. These projects can be developed into innovations and further become pilot projects for community development. Moreover, they can be developed into products or services that can be offered to the market in the form of social enterprises. This kind of cooperation between the company and the community can drive Thailand towards the sustainable development goals.
