Thailand's CP Group Hosts Innovation Festival in October

Imagine walking into a festival where you can ask a robotics expert your burning questions, test emerging food technologies, and see how quantum computing might change your future career.

That's exactly what CP Group is creating with "Future Fest," running October 20-22 at Bangkok's True Digital Park. The company reimagined its ninth annual innovation exposition to make breakthrough technology accessible to everyone, not just industry insiders.

The three-day event opens doors to innovations from CP Group's global operations and partners including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, Huawei, and Tencent. Visitors can explore advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, quantum computing, and even space technology alongside practical innovations in food, health, and sustainable living.

What makes Future Fest different is its hands-on approach. Entrepreneurs can discover technologies to grow their businesses. Students can meet developers working on tomorrow's careers. The general public can experience innovations that affect daily life, from what we eat to how we live.

The event centers on a simple belief that anyone can be an innovator. Through "Ask the Expert" sessions, visitors get direct access to global leaders and specialists. No corporate barriers, no complicated applications, just real conversations about how rapidly evolving technology creates opportunities people haven't even imagined yet.

"Technology today goes beyond responding to existing customer demand," said Sigve Brekke, Group Chief Executive Officer of True Corporation and event chairman. "The faster technology changes, the faster organizations and people must learn, experiment, collaborate and turn those possibilities into real value."

The Ripple Effect

By bringing together knowledge from different countries and industries, Future Fest creates space for unexpected collaborations. A student might meet a startup founder. An SME owner might discover a solution from a gaming expert. These chance encounters become starting points for new projects that benefit Thailand's innovation ecosystem.

The event includes HealthyLicious, a platform specifically designed to help food innovation startups scale their businesses. Workshops and activities run across all three days, letting visitors experiment with technologies rather than just reading about them.

Sessions cover everything from content creation and gaming to the future of retail, financial services, and energy. Visitors can register for specific talks and panels at the event website, choosing topics that match their interests or business needs.

Future Fest proves that innovation doesn't have to happen behind closed doors or in elite circles. When breakthrough technology meets everyday curiosity, everyone wins.
