On September 17th 2012, two teams from BBA Thammasat represented our program at the final round of the Standard Chartered Young Innovators Awards 2012. These two teams of fourth year students were Team Mozarella, which consisted of Saran Sriweraskul (Aom), Thawatchai Vikiniyatinee (Aek) and Kraisri Kuludomphongse and Team Init, which consisted of Varisara Tantrativud (Tong), Thanyaporn Thanormklin (Nac), and Tananya Kruabua (New).  

In this competition, students were required to come up with any new banking innovations that they thought would help improve Standard Chartered Bank Thailand in any of the following categories: product innovation, service innovation, channel innovation, and green technology. Over 60 teams submitted their ideas and 7 teams were chosen to pitch them to esteemed judges from Standard Chartered, AIS, and NECTEC in a 15- minute presentation which was followed by 10 minutes of Q&A.
