WOWS Events
July was another exciting month for WOWS Global, staying out and above in the region’s tech and founder ecosystem. We wrapped up the month at SITE 2025 and joined the India-Thai Chamber of Commerce for a thought-provoking session led by Tiwa York on how AI is transforming business growth, a real wake-up call for the future.
Looking ahead, August is packed with momentum. We’re gearing up for SaaS Connect, a full-day experience hosted by KATALYST and FlowAccount, focused on scaling Thai SaaS businesses with insights on GTM, AI, retention and fundraising. We’ll also be at Techsauce Global Summit, SEA’s flagship tech event, bringing together innovators, founders and leaders in the heart of Bangkok. Plus, we’ll continue building meaningful connections at Asia Pillars and Monthly NOTworking.
WOWS remains deeply engaged in building the region’s most forward-thinking startup community.
