On February 7, 2025, KODECET welcomed the China Intelligence Center (CIC) team from the College of Arts, Media and Technology, Chiang Mai University, led by Dr. Danaithan Pongpatcharathornthep, along with the BizClub Phuket group. The meeting focused on exchanging ideas and exploring opportunities to integrate Sustainable and Circular Economy (SACE) principles into higher education curricula in Asia and Europe.
During the session, the KODECET team presented strategies for promoting environmentally conscious sales and strengthening circular and sustainable economy concepts in education. The discussion emphasized the importance of practical learning, ensuring that students gain hands-on experience in applying SACE knowledge to real-world business challenges.
Beyond academia, the KODECET initiative also supports expanding product sales to the Chinese market with a focus on sustainability. This presents a key opportunity for Thai SMEs to adapt and enhance their competitiveness by aligning with the increasing demand for eco-friendly products among Chinese consumers. The project empowers entrepreneurs with insights into sustainable business practices, branding strategies, and market positioning to reach high-potential international markets.
This meeting marks a significant step toward bridging the education and business sectors in fostering a sustainable economy that aligns with international standards. Moving forward, KODECET aims to expand collaborations and provide more structured learning opportunities, ensuring that sustainability becomes a core pillar of business and education in the region.
The KODECET project, driven by the College of Computing at Prince of Songkla University, operates with support from the ERASMUS+ program. Its mission is to disseminate SACE knowledge to both students and the business sector. The curriculum is designed to equip learners with a deep understanding of circular economy principles, enabling them to create practical, high-impact solutions that benefit society and the environment.
