The program aims to encourage Thai students to showcase their creativity in designing project ideas based on the "Circular Economy" concept (REduce, REuse, REthink, and Recycle) which helps make a constructive contribution to society and the environment.

Representatives from each corporate partner attended a joint press conference to officially launch and open the project for applications at the Microsoft Thailand office in Bangkok. Ms. Aonthip Aorthong, Delta Thailand Sustainable Development Manager, said, “Delta is excited to join this meaningful initiative led by BMW Group Thailand. As a corporate partner and part of the judging panel, we will support student teams with mentoring and open our sites for them to visit and learn more about Delta’s energy-efficient solutions and sustainable business. We are looking forward to sharing our know-how and experiences with Thailand’s new generation for a sustainable future.”

The CHOICEISYOURS 2023 initiative is designed to enhance innovative thinking among the young generation of Thailand so that they can transform their ideas into reality for environmental and economic development. The 2023 competition topic is “Circularity for the Community”, and students must propose ideas that integrate the concept of circularity in solving an environmental problem or a sustainability issue for a specific community.

On July 24, five teams from each organization will be announced and all teams will join an orientation on August 5. From August to October, all teams will receive training with company mentorship and conduct tests on their proposed solutions. On November 3, the teams will make a 10-minute final presentation before a judging panel and on November 7, the competition winners will be announced.

Team projects will be judged on criteria including the application of the circularity concept, practicality, creativity and experiment results. The judging panel will include corporate partners, experts or specialists and journalists. The top six teams will win awards as competition winners and have the chance to select one of the corporate sponsors for internship.
