webfact Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Amulets prove lucky for tech startup By JIRAPAN BOONNOON THE NATION Members of the World Amulet 3D team enjoy the limelight on stage as winners of the Young Technopreneur award. THE WORLD Amulet 3D team has won the top prize in the Young Technopreneur category in the Samart Innovation Awards. The first runner-up award was handed to ActiveBoost and the second runner-up award was won by Kitteung, the latter in the automobile application services field. Charoenrath Vilailuck, chief executive of Samart Corporation, said that the Young Technopreneur 2018 contest was aimed at encouraging innovation and technology to boost Thailand’s technology industries, enhance business knowledge and increase funding under the Samart Innovation Awards. The contest focused on new ideas and developments that will drive the economy through innovation, technology and creativity. It also created opportunities for members of the new generation to develop innovative products and services to support the market in the digital age. For the awards, the company partnered with the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and provided consultation and training for startups in order for their leaders to gain sufficient confidence to launch their products and services. Phumin Podhayanukul, managing director of World Amulet 3D, said the company provides a website for people who love to collect amulets, and “they can check on amulets via the website with an accuracy rate of over 90 per cent”. More than 2,500 items are displayed on the site, www.worldamulet3d.com. Phumin said the website allows people to check on amulets, anywhere and at anytime. In the next stage of development, the company will provide the role of an e-marketplace. Owners of amulets will be able to auction their items via the website and a related mobile application. The company will use QR code technology as part of its offerings. ActiveBoost was recognised for its Smart Microcapsule, an innovation that will support smart farming for animal heath and welfare, as well as the development of nutraceuticals and functional food along with gene therapy and regenerative medicine. Kitteung’s automobile application is designed to help people search for car care services, including delivery and garage options. It also provides a promotion campaign for drivers. Sansanee Huabsomboon, director of the Technology Business Incubation Centre at NSTDA, said the agency and its business partners had been staging the Young Technopreneur contest for seven years. The 16 teams that entered the final round have been trained in basic business skills and each project has been backed with a business plan. “This result is admirable and it marks the beginning of creative innovation among Thailand’s young people,” Sansanee said. “The six contest topic groups cover technology and businesses related to the Thailand 4.0 policies, such as in food and agriculture, healthcare including ageing technology and wellness, as well as tourism, logistics and transport, robotics and automation, and the Internet of Things.” Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/Corporate/30355744 -- © Copyright The Nation 2018-10-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SABloke Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I don't care if people want to collect shit, but I don't get how this website is award-worthy. Just visited the site, and the home page has a 3d amulet you can look at. Ok. And then when I looked at some other amulets, it was just a front and back picture. So what did they innovate? The internet, or a website that sells shit? Both already exist, and amulet websites also already exist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
