CMKL University hosted the online AI Innovator Award 2026 Competition Orientation,
welcoming young innovators from Thailand, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, the United States,
and beyond as they begin their competition journey.
During the session, participants explored how Artificial Intelligence can be applied to real-world
water and sustainability challenges across areas such as agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, communities,
and climate resilience.
A key highlight was the special industry challenge with Vitamilk, which invites students to explore
how AI can help reduce water use and improve efficiency in manufacturing while addressing real operational needs.
The orientation also introduced participants to the mentor program, judging criteria,
Elevator Pitch format, and overall competition process, preparing teams to transform real data
and real-world problems into practical AI-powered solutions.
With a total prize pool of THB 200,000, the AI Innovator Award 2026 brings together young minds
from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to explore how technology
and innovation can contribute to a more sustainable future.
