This is the final call for submissions for the ISPIM Connects Bangkok Conference, “Innovating for Impact: People, Planet, Purpose”, a three-day event that brings together around 200 innovation management professionals from over 25 countries.
This conference takes place from 9-11 March 2026 and is proudly supported by Kasetsart University, the largest public research university in Thailand.
Bangkok, Thailand’s vibrant capital, is advancing innovation to address pressing challenges such as urban resilience, sustainable transport and climate adaptation, in line with national sustainability goals. The city’s strengths include a fast-growing start-up ecosystem in digital, fintech and healthtech, strong research universities, and a network of innovation hubs. As South-East Asia’s gateway for international collaboration, Bangkok is positioning itself as a dynamic centre for people-centred, impact-driven innovation.
