Due to COVID-19, this year’ s Angel Fund awards are virtual. Speaking online, Jackie Chang, Delta Thailand President said, “Although 2021 was a challenging year, our Angel Fund has evolved to online virtual events that can continue to help fulfill our mission to discover and foster entrepreneurs and startup talents in Thailand. Angel Fund’ s mission is to support Thai startups’ aspirations through nurturing, guidance and imparting entrepreneurial skills that create solutions for better living.”

Delta’ s Angel Fund for Startups is a key pillar in its collaboration with the Thai government, educational institutions and industry partners to support Thailand’ s new normal economic recovery and Thailand 4.0 development. Throughout the year, DET supported Angel Fund for Startup teams with technical and business training to develop their business proposals for automation and energy-saving innovation. This year, winning teams also can join pitching at the business reality show Shark Tank Thailand for additional funding.
