Message from the Chairman
Khon Kaen is the education, economic, and medical heart of Isan; Thailand’s largest region that is home to 22 million people or one third of the country’s population. The city’s geographical location at the center of Isan, and at the center of the Greater Mekong subregion, which includes Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Southern China, make it a dynamic melting pot with rich multi-cultural identities and heritage.
This city is undergoing change; driven in part by Thai government’s large-scale Northeastern Economic Corridor (NEEC) initiatives, and in part by the collective effort of its active citizens, entrepreneurs, commerce and industry associations, universities, regional institutions, and progressive local administrations. This has made the city youthful, collaborative, and very much open for business.
The Khon Kaen Innovation Center aims to be the innovation hub for Isan and its people. We believe that technological innovation has to go hand in hand with the advancement of human creativity in order to truly empower and enrich lives. We believe that to achieve such goal requires the right ecosystem and a collaborative culture only possible where people are happy to give as much as to take - the kind that thrives in this city.
Mitr Phol Group has been operating in Isan with our base in Khon Kaen for over 40 years. We have prospered from the sustainable harvests of the land and have built businesses that are global leaders in food, agriculture, renewable energy, and bio-technology. We are committed to ensuring that our world-class expertise and resources in such fields becomes seeds and nourishments for the next generation. We are proud to call Khon Kaen our home.
On behalf of Mitr Phol Group and our family shareholders
