"Unleash Ideas! BU X TFA The FinTech Project Challenge 2026"

 

Finance Program, School of Business Administration, in collaboration with the Thai Fintech Association (TFA), organized "The FinTech Project Challenge 2026: Pitching Desk". The event was filled with the creative energy of students on Final Pitching Desk day, as they took on the role of FinTech Co-founders, presenting their business plans before a panel of distinguished judges — including K. Choldech Khemarattana, President of the Thai Fintech Association and CEO of Webull Securities (Thailand) Co., Ltd., and A.Cholavit Komenkul from the Digital Marketing Program. The event was held at Seminar Room A3-203, 2nd Floor, Building A3, Bangkok University.

 

 

Two teams stood out and won the judges' hearts: 1st Place — Team Reap Reap, and 1st Runner-Up — Team Moni Save.

 

 

This project was not merely a competition, but an integration of academic knowledge with real-world experience throughout the semester. Students developed skills through guest speakers from TFA, covering all dimensions of FinTech — including digital assets, asset tokenization, FinTech law, InsurTech and risk management, and digital lending.

 

 

Dr.Krairoek Pinkaeo Dean, School of Business Administration, delivered a welcome address and presented mementos to the judges. Dr.Rapeesorn Fuangkasem, Chairperson, Finance Department, and A.Nichawan Thamrongsak, Project Leader, co-hosted and oversaw the activities throughout.

 

         

The core of this activity lies in Active Learning and Project-Based Learning, emphasizing hands-on experience to build Career Readiness and elevate Thai graduates' potential to keep pace with the rapidly changing landscape of modern finance.
