Kasikornbank continues to promote the potential of Thai youth through the "AFTERKLASS Business KAMP Year 6," an intensive innovation camp, the AFTERKLASS AI Hackathon: Youth for Good, which offers a platform for youth aged 15–21 to showcase their creative business ideas powered by AI.

Mr. Rawee Angthong, Senior Vice President, Corporate Sustainability Integration Department, Kasikornbank, revealed that Kasikornbank believes in the power of Thai youth and is committed to promoting learning through hands-on practice and the creative use of technology to drive sustainable social change. This initiative is being held for the sixth year under the theme "Youth for Good: Helping Underprivileged and Vulnerable Groups in Thai Society," including children, the elderly, women, the disabled, and those living in remote areas. This initiative provides youth with the opportunity to analyze real-world problems based on the experiences of those affected, develop awareness of social responsibility, and present their ideas. The bank is ready to design solutions using artificial intelligence (AI) technology and innovation to create lasting, positive impacts. Furthermore, the bank has partnered with the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) to have experts provide in-depth consultation and serve as judges for youth projects. This allows youth to learn and develop ideas that will contribute to a better society.

The sixth AFTERKLASS Business KAMP will consist of two main parts: the Problem Cracking round, from October 4-15, 2025, will provide the 20 selected teams with the opportunity to learn, analyze, and develop innovative ideas based on real-world social problems. They will also gain hands-on experience presenting their ideas to a panel of judges online, who will select the eight finalists to advance to the AI Hackathon round.

The AI Hackathon round, from October 27-29, 2025, will feature intensive workshops to develop social innovations that effectively utilize artificial intelligence (AI) technology and are appropriate for the context of the problem. Experts from various industries, including KBTG and AI gurus, will share their knowledge and experience. On the final day, the eight youth teams will present their social innovation ideas to a panel of judges.

The 6th AFTERKLASS Business KAMP is open to youth aged 15–21, currently enrolled in upper secondary school or first or second years of higher education. Applicants must form teams of 3–4 and fulfill three roles: 1) Business Opportunist, 2) Design & UX Savior, and 3) Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI & Tech Builder). They do not need to be from the same institution.

Participants must register as members of the AFTERKLASS website, providing a unique platform for youth to learn and develop. This activity not only provides an opportunity to learn and develop their ideas, but also allows participants to fully demonstrate their potential. The eight finalist teams will receive scholarships and certificates from Kasikornbank. Interested parties can learn more and apply for the event at www.afterklass.com and Line OA: @AFTERKLASS from now until August 27, 2025.

Mr. Rawee concluded by saying that the 6th AFTERKLASS Business KAMP program is designed to encourage youth to develop innovative ideas, coupled with the creative use of AI technology. This will help foster a sense of social responsibility and enhance skills for creating valuable businesses, particularly in helping vulnerable groups in Thailand, which is the heart of true development. This reflects Kasikornbank's commitment, determination, and strong culture of being a sustainable bank.
