Fellowship Experience

What are your biggest learnings in business?

Working with real-world clients in the REMT program taught me the value of clear communication, managing expectations, adapting to needs, and aligning strategies with client goals for better outcomes. As a business management student, I learned how to apply my knowledge to create practical solutions that deliver real results.

What are your biggest learnings in personal growth?

From REMT+, I learned to embrace challenges as growth opportunities, value international collaboration, and build confidence in leadership. I became more self-aware, understood my strengths, and gained the confidence to take initiative and guide others.

Your Vision for ASEAN

My vision for the future of ASEAN is a united region that thrives through collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity. I see ASEAN leading in sustainable growth, addressing shared challenges, and promoting peace and prosperity for all nations.

Message to Future Fellows

What Our Fellows Say

Real Feedback, 2024–2026

Word-for-word excerpts from feedback forms and reflections by ASEAN1967 Fellowship and Global Venture Sprint participants. Names are withheld.

Global Venture Sprint participant, 2026 (note to the founder)

“appreciate what you did, time is one thing you sacrificed, but compared to the willingness of a person dedicated to build and execute this program, you're one in a million.”

ASEAN1967 Fellowship, 2026 cohort

“Talking to real SMEs allowed me to see a picture far beyond economic theories in a classroom… because you understand the problems from the grassroots level, rather than just looking down from an ivory tower.”

ASEAN1967 Fellowship (then REMT), Batch 5

“This program is really a great step up for future career and also a place we can get as much as we learn.”

ASEAN1967 Fellowship, 2026 cohort

“Working in a team from more than 4 countries is the best experience that I can state.”

ASEAN1967 Fellowship, 2026 cohort

“all of what Kasper said at the end of the meeting is a valuable lesson that will not only work now, but for my professional career ahead.”

ASEAN1967 Fellowship, 2025 cohort

“I strengthened my leadership and entrepreneurial skills, particularly in navigating a foreign context like Thailand and working within a new industry such as pet technology (pettech)… It pushed me to think beyond execution and consider the bigger picture.”

ASEAN1967 Fellowship, 2025 cohort

“Learned that having a global entrepreneurial mindset doesn't mean you have to go to Silicon Valley. It can start right here in ASEAN.”
