We have always believed that partnerships that stand the test of time rarely begin with a contract; they begin with a shared experience of learning and seeing the world together.
On January 29, 2026, the co-founders of DOMI Earth and the Adaptive Game Changers Transition Institute (AGCTI), alongside Social Value Thailand, paid an official visit to Associate Professor Dr. Cholawit Jianjit, President of Srinakharinwirot University (SWU), and his management team. The meeting served as a platform to exchange ideas and discuss strategic cooperation, with the goal of jointly building a more systematic, grounded, and scalable framework for positive change.
The delegation was led by Corey Lien and Tammy Hu—co-founders of both DOMI Earth and AGCTI, and prominent advocates of the B Corp movement in Asia. They were joined by Dr. Sakultip Keertipanthawong, Secretary-General of Social Value Thailand, for an in-depth dialogue on practical collaboration models and implementation paths.
Extending a Relationship: A Four-Year Journey of Shared Learning
For us, this visit was more than just a formal meeting; it felt like the natural evolution of a long-standing friendship.
Four years ago, while serving as the Dean of the Business School, Dr. Cholawit Jianjit was a participant in AGCTI’s "Sustainability Leadership for Adaptive Challenges" program. During that three-month intensive journey of co-learning and high-density collaboration, we moved beyond discussing sustainability in the abstract. Instead, we kept returning to a fundamental question:
Beyond seeking efficiency and growth, can business become a force that heals social and environmental fractures?
Can a company drive public value while remaining competitive?
It was through those deep dialogues that we witnessed a leader in business management expand his perspective. He moved from viewing "management" through the lens of performance metrics to a larger narrative of "co-existing with society and nature." He began to see the university not just as a producer of knowledge, but as an action platform capable of connecting stakeholders to solve real-world problems.
Today, as we sat around the same table again, we weren't just discussing a project. We were discussing a long-term, directional vision: a "Partnership for Impact" that connects higher education, social enterprise, corporate practice, and professional communities—ensuring that research, innovation, and talent cultivation serve as engines for social and environmental solutions.
Aligning with SWU’s Mission as a "Socially Engaged University"
The directions discussed during the meeting align perfectly with SWU’s mission to be a "Socially Engaged University"—one that bridges knowledge and innovation with real-world issues to create verifiable and replicable change.
Key points of consensus from our dialogue include:
- Driving Systemic Change via Strategic Partnerships: Moving beyond isolated projects toward a long-term framework and collaborative mechanism.
- Prioritizing Talent and Leadership Development: Supporting changemakers with a sustainability mindset and cross-sector collaboration skills through co-learning and practice.
- Linking Research to Local Implementation: Ensuring academic energy addresses real problems and generates scalable solutions in specific fields.
- Building a Cross-Sector Network: Connecting higher education, social enterprises, corporations, and professional groups to "act together, learn together, and amplify together."
Next Steps: From Dialogue to Co-Creation
We look forward to this exchange becoming a new starting point—not just for project-level cooperation, but for a sustainable model of collaboration that fosters local impact. From talent and topics to institutional frameworks, we want our "vision" to be more than a declaration; we want it to be practiced, measured, and magnified step-by-step.
Because we know—to go far, we must go together.
Go Far... Go Together 🌱
