This month we are pleased to have Vikrom Kromadit as out guest speaker on the topic "Looking at Thailand and the neighboring region toward the future".
As chairman and CEO of Amata Corporation, he founded and runs the largest industrial estates in the country. The nearly 500 local and multinational firms manufacturing on his two estates ¡V Amata City and Amata Nakorn ¡V account for between 6 percent and 7 percent of Thailand's gross domestic product. A proponent of stronger ties with and more investment in Vietnam, his company has also established the Amata City Bien Hoa industrial estate outside Ho Chi Minh City and Amata Dung Quat in central Vietnam.
Vikrom has been outspoken on social and political issues, has hosted a talk radio program in which he expounds on social justice and more equitable and sustainable ways in which Thailand should develop. It's not just talk: Vikrom donates several million dollars a year in dividends from his shares in Amata Corporation to his Amata Foundation, which he now chairs. The foundation funds education projects and the arts.
