I would like to give thanksto all co-organizing partners, namely the ThaiSocial Enterprise Office, the British Council,Krungthep Turakij newspaper, andChangeFusion Institute.

Apart from being a platform wherehundreds of social entrepreneurs andindustry professionals convened to sharetheir ideas and experiences, the Symposiumis also a birthplace for Social EnterpriseNetwork Asia, which is a network thatpositions itself to be the main driving force for the growth of social enterprise and socialinnovation in Asia.For the second issue of CHANGE Magazine,we would like to share everyone theinsightful topics which were openly sharedand healthy debated at the Symposium, aswell as the direction of social enterprise inThailand and in other countries across Asia.We hope that this issue of CHANGEMagazine would inspire, and spread themessage of a sustainable future throughsocial enterprise from the Symposium toeveryone, both within Asia and Thailand.
