Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus, the iconic advocate for social entrepreneurship and micro finance, was recently in Bangkok to inaugurate the Yunus Centre in Thailand. With his profound influence on global social business and technology, Professor Yunus continues to inspire change-makers worldwide. In this exclusive interview, Nattha Komolvadhin delves into Yunus’s perspectives on technology, the younger generation and his unwavering commitment to social entrepreneurship.

 

Over the years, Professor Muhammad Yunus’s ideas have evolved from microfinance in Bangladesh to championing social business and entrepreneurship. Today, his passion extends to addressing environmental concerns and advocating for a zero-waste world. His overarching goal remains to create a better world through the collective actions of individuals.

Maybe he could have a chat about the election system in Thailand.

I think he should go to the USA, seems a bunch of folks over there waiting for hand outs could use an inspirational talk.

 

I see a lot of folks here/TH with the desire to work and or start businesses for themselves.  Same with USA, but they never make the news.  

 

News has to be doom & gloom it seems.
