DATE: 6th October 2024
Join Us on Our Journey Toward a Sustainable Future—Together, We Can Make a Difference.
At the Sustainability Expo 2024 in Bangkok, the co-founders of Himalaya Innovate—Sharmila Shyangtan and Matt Yutthaworakool—took an important step toward amplifying social impact in the Himalayas and across Asia. The Expo, Southeast Asia’s largest event dedicated to sustainability, brought together innovators, thought leaders, and businesses committed to creating meaningful change. For Himalaya Innovate, it wasn’t just about showcasing our work, but about learning, collaborating, and strengthening our commitment to building sustainable, thriving communities.
A Vision for Sustainable Communities
Throughout the Expo, the team engaged deeply in discussions around key topics like environment, social, and governance (ESG), which are central to our mission. From exploring how eco-friendly products and traditional practices can merge with emerging technologies, to gaining insights from speakers tackling climate change and promoting ethical business practices, the event fueled our passion for driving sustainable change.
We are more inspired than ever to scale solutions that benefit the environment while respecting cultural heritage. Our participation reaffirmed our belief that a truly sustainable future is rooted in innovation and community empowerment.
Strengthening Partnerships for Lasting Change
One of the most exciting outcomes of the Expo was the opportunity to form new partnerships. As a startup dedicated to impactful solutions, we connected with environmental NGOs and businesses that share our vision for sustainable development. These collaborations will pave the way for future projects that support marginalized communities and the planet.
