Harbour.Space@UTCC Joins the Launch of Future Founders Bootcamp 2026

On 18 June 2026, Harbour.Space@UTCC joined partners from across the education, business, and innovation sectors for the official launch of Future Founders Bootcamp 2026 at PTT Headquarters in Bangkok.

The event marked the Strategic Partnership Signing Ceremony between VISUP, VISTEC, Bangkok University School of Entrepreneurship and Management (BUSEM), and Harbour.Space@UTCC, reflecting a shared commitment to developing the next generation of Deep Tech founders and innovation entrepreneurs in Thailand.

The launch brought together leaders from academia, industry, and government, including representatives from PTT Public Company Limited, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), VISTEC, Bangkok University, and Harbour.Space@UTCC. Their participation highlighted the growing importance of collaboration across sectors in building Thailand's innovation ecosystem.

Future Founders Bootcamp 2026 was created to provide students and young innovators with opportunities to explore entrepreneurship through hands-on learning and real-world challenges.

The programme brings together participants from diverse academic backgrounds and connects them with researchers, mentors, entrepreneurs, and industry experts. Through this experience, students will gain practical exposure to the process of transforming ideas into viable ventures.

More than a traditional entrepreneurship programme, the bootcamp aims to create an environment where innovation, experimentation, and collaboration can thrive.

A key part of the launch event was the introduction of the Future Founders Bootcamp journey. Throughout the programme, participants will work through the stages of entrepreneurship, from identifying real-world problems and generating ideas to developing business strategies, building prototypes, validating market opportunities, and ultimately pitching their solutions at Demo Day.

By combining technical knowledge with entrepreneurial thinking, the programme seeks to help participants bridge the gap between research, technology, and commercialization.

The Strategic Partnership Signing Ceremony represented more than the launch of a new programme. It reflected the shared vision of universities, private sector organisations, and innovation support networks working together to strengthen entrepreneurship and innovation in Thailand.

By combining expertise, resources, and networks, the initiative aims to create meaningful opportunities for students and young innovators while helping to build a stronger pipeline of future founders.

At Harbour.Space@UTCC, we believe entrepreneurship is best learned through experience. We are proud to be part of Future Founders Bootcamp 2026 and look forward to supporting the next generation of innovators as they develop ideas, build solutions, and create impact through technology and entrepreneurship.
