Mrs. Udomlux Olarn, Head of Corporate Communications, Banpu Public Company Limited, stated that “This year has already been the 10th year of the BC4C project. Banpu is one of the very first private organizations joining as an incubator to actively promote social enterprises. As Banpu can feel the passion of young people who are keen to be entrepreneurs having intention to tackle current social issues through business approaches, and we believe that “Learning is the Power of Change and Development”, we don’t want such passion and perseverance to vanish. So in addition to financial supports, we have focused on embedding and enriching entrepreneurial spirit, business skill development, and hands-on experiment for them. We have also facilitated continuous mentorship and knowledge sharing, even after the project in each year had ended. All BC4C alumni in the past nine years thus become a robust and strong community, which is ready to pass on their knowledge and experiences to the next-generation entrepreneurs. During the past few years, we had extended our
SE learning platform through SE School online and SE networking activities, which were not limited to only entrepreneurs, as they were also open for end consumers. This will be another goal of us in building an ecosystem that encourages SE growth as well as social betterment.”

For the successful candidates of BC4C#10, they will be entitled to participate in workshops and trainings and gain advice from a multidisciplinary team of professionals. Moreover, they will also learn from the alumni about their experiences in various angles, including business plan development, marketing, financial management, and social impact assessment. Furthermore, other participants from the SE network will be there to help strengthen the enterprises to attain the sustainable growth.
