🌐 While space may be unbound, the number of #EarthObservation (EO) satellites in orbit is limited. As of December 2023, only 1,167 EO satellites are circling the planet, which puts a cap on the fast-growing space tech sector. Space tech startups like SatSure, which leverages satellite imagery to build solutions for industries such as banking, agriculture, insurance, and infrastructure, face challenges in mapping specific use cases and accessing data without delays. Founded as a part of our portfolio company SatSure, KaleidEO takes a demand-first approach in building use cases for Earth observation satellites and reverse engineers the payload requirements. This shift from a supply-driven to a user-centric model marks an exciting evolution for EO capabilities, potentially unlocking faster, more tailored access to data for diverse industries.

It’s an honor to share the stage with Fai Wechayachai Hataikan Kamolsirisakul 🌻Moh Suthasiny Sudprasert and Massimo Vita at the UNESCAP event. While we don’t always say it explicitly, our work at ADB Ventures highlights the importance of the interconnection between climate and inclusive business. Clean energy solutions help expand access to affordable, sustainable energy. Sustainable agricultural supply chains and parametric insurance strengthen resilience for climate-vulnerable smallholder farmers. Smart mobility solutions create new economic opportunities for underserved communities. We remain committed to supporting inclusive businesses that drive positive change across the region 🌱✨
What is Inclusive Business?🤔 IB is about creating value not just for businesses, but for low-income communities by integrating them into the value chain—whether as suppliers, distributors, or consumers.💕 It was such an honor to speak at the United Nations’ event on the financing ecosystem for inclusive business in the region! 🙌 Sharing the stage with individuals I admire, and reconnecting with them, made the experience all the more special. 💬✨🇺🇳 A highlight for me was hearing from Hataikan Kamolsirisakul about Thai Wah Public Company Limited ’s comprehensive approach to regenerative transitions in their supply chain. 🌾 Thai Wah not only focuses on environmental sustainability but also addresses the underlying social challenges that hinder progress. In one northeastern Thai village, for example, safety concerns prevent farmers from focusing on regenerative agricultural transitions. Thai Wah’s leadership is crucial here, coordinating various stakeholders to create a safe and secure environment, allowing farmers to fully embrace sustainable practices.💡🤝 I was also deeply impressed by Pang (Thitirat) Sittakaradej and Massimo Vita , who shared their insights on innovative financing models that blend funds from Europe and Asia to support sustainability goals. 💶🌏 Through Impact+ Advisory and ADB Ventures, they are driving inclusive businesses forward by leveraging capital to address global challenges while promoting local solutions. 🌍💼 For my part, I shared Happy Ground’ funding journey—from the early days of our angel round, through securing grants for R&D, to where we are today, exploring a blend of financing strategies and building partnerships with corporates and investors. 🚀 As we grow, we continue to evolve and bring more impactful solutions to the communities we serve. 💚 At the heart of all this, I believe the ecosystem needs more opportunities for inclusive business founders to connect, collaborate, and share their experiences honestly. These genuine, open conversations are crucial to fostering growth and driving sustainable, inclusive progress. 🤝💬 Special thanks to Fai Wechayachai for such a fun moderating approach 💕 In Southeast Asia, where socioeconomic disparities are significant, I believe IB holds the key to fostering sustainable development. By bridging gaps, creating opportunities, and driving growth in underserved areas, inclusive businesses can reshape economies while ensuring long-term sustainability. 🌱✨
