The National Innovation Agency is holding an online exhibition that reveals 100 people selected in the "100 Faces Of Thailand's Innovation Inspirers 2" project.

Held under the theme "Creative & Aesthetic", the second edition of the project introduces 100 creative creators who inspired innovations in science and arts.

They are recognised for their inspirational ideas, works and achievements that encourages Thai people to think outside the box, take the initiative to innovate when it comes to economic and social values, and take part in driving Thailand to be an innovative country that is ready to step into Thailand 4.0.

They feature professionals in six fields -- artists, designers, social movers, technology entrepreneurs, creative entrepreneurs and knowledge providers.

The line-up includes Alex Rendell, a young actor with a green heart; Watchara Sukchum or Jennie Panhan, a leading entertainer; Kantapon Metheekul aka Kongkan, a global artist who inspires the new generation; Dujdao Vahanapakorn, Thailand's first kinetic therapist; Katakorn Voraakhom, a female architect who won a world-class design award; and Olarn Weranond, a financial innovation influencer.

Due to the Covid-19 situation, the project is presented in a virtual format allowing everyone to learn about their ideas, works, and achievements via nia100faces.com and through the NIA 100 Faces application.

Also available is the 100 Faces Of Thailand's Innovation Inspirers e-book which comes with AR technology to create a more fun and engaging reading experience. It can be read both on the website and on a mobile application.

Some of the innovators will take turns to give an exclusive talk on Facebook every week throughout September. They will share ideas, experiences and inspiration in creating works that will encourage Thais with creative energy to come up with their own innovations
