Spark-Ignite Pitching Day: Helping Thai startups drive digital transformation

On 22 September 2022, Huawei held the finals of their long-running startup competition, the ‘Spark-Ignite Pitching Day & Award Ceremony’, at the flagship Spark Founders Summit event, Asia's fastest growing startup event. The finals were held in Bangkok, Thailand, in conjunction with Huawei Connect 2022, to empower startup capabilities and the Thai digital startup ecosystem through the competition. The winners will receive up to 125,000 USD in cloud credits and professional support from Huawei to help them grow in the market and become a driving force behind Thailand's digital transformation into a digital hub for the ASEAN region.

As a VC partner with the Huawei Spark ecosystem, Vitavin Ittipanuvat, Executive Director of Vertex Ventures Southeast Asia & India, commented:

"Through every crisis there's always an opportunity. We are happy to support Huawei's Spark Founders Summit event as part of their continuing trust and commitment in the Thai startup ecosystem.
