The Chulalongkorn Investment Competition (CIC) has successfully concluded its first year, marking a significant milestone as Thailand’s foremost investment challenge.
CIC aimed to stimulate interest and understanding in the field of Venture Capital (VC) within Thailand. With a focus on providing Chulalongkorn students a platform to explore and engage with VC, the event aspired to lay the groundwork for their potential future involvement in this promising financial domain.
The outcomes of this pioneering competition were profound. Participants delved into the depths of VC, acquiring invaluable insights and gaining hands-on experience. Most notably, they were afforded the extraordinary opportunity to engage closely with esteemed alumni, further exploring the nuances and potential of VC.
A diverse array of participants joining from various faculties within Chulalongkorn University—ranging from BBA to BaScii, ISE, BALAC, and more—contributed to the dynamic exchange of ideas and perspectives, enriching the overall competition.
This year saw an impressive turnout, with 41 teams participating. After a rigorous competition, it is with great pleasure that we extend our congratulations to Team "Sidwell" for their exceptional performance, earning them the esteemed title and a prize of 10,000 baht, recognizing their commendable efforts and strategic acumen.
