​Chula Demo Day

​The next generation of Thai innovation.

​Chula Demo Day brings together the best of Chulalongkorn University’s startup ecosystem in one room, exclusively showcasing the ventures, researchers, SMEs, founders, and ideas emerging from Chula.

​Hosted by CU Innovation Hub, the event is designed to celebrate how innovation moves from research and ideas to commercialization, entrepreneurship, growth, and investment.

​A key highlight is CU-i Accelerate, Chulalongkorn University’s deep tech accelerator, where promising research-driven and technology ventures are supported in turning breakthrough ideas into scalable businesses.

​From startups graduating through CU-i Accelerate, to university research with commercial potential, established SMEs, and founders who have gone all the way to exit, Chula Demo Day offers a rare look at the breadth and ambition of the ecosystem being built within Chulalongkorn University.

​More than a showcase, it is a meeting point for the people shaping what comes next: founders, researchers, investors, business leaders, and ecosystem builders coming together to discover new ideas, exchange perspectives, and create the connections that can turn promising ventures into the next generation of companies.
