Startup Thailand League 2025 Finalists and Winners 
This year, 14 teams were selected from 250 teams from four regions to compete in the national finals of Startup Thailand League 2025. Here is a summary of the standout projects by category: 

Medical and Health Business Group

        POTENT (University of Phayao): A sparkling effervescent tablet to help with methamphetamine addiction. This product uses three Thai herbs—Thao Wan Priang, kratom leaf, and cannabis leaf—that can balance dopamine in the brain. The formula is developed using freeze-drying technology to extract key compounds. Just 30 days of continuous use can help patients quit the substance without side effects. This team won First Runner-Up.

•         CareWalk (Kasem Bundit University): An automatic walking aid for the elderly and post-surgery rehabilitation patients. It features a three-level safety system: a button-activated motor for the wheels, a sensor to detect distances within 50 cm, and an emergency button to immediately stop the device.   

•         OrganoTopia (Mahidol University): A liver organoid (simulated liver tissue) used for drug toxicity testing. This technology efficiently reduces the risk of releasing harmful drugs to patients. It is available in both frozen tubes that can be cultured and ready-to-use plated versions, generating income from both organoid sales and liver toxicity testing services.  

•         Thames and his sugar babies (Chulalongkorn University): An innovative device that makes IV drip or vitamin drips easy, affordable, and painless. This device allows for absorption through the lungs directly into the body, enabling anyone to have a vitamin drip without visiting a clinic. The initial model will target the anti-aging market before expanding to other groups.  

•         MedTBac (Chiang Mai University): An immunochromatographic test kit for both tuberculosis and atypical tuberculosis. It can detect and differentiate between the two infections simultaneously, solving the problem of slow and inaccurate traditional diagnosis. This allows doctors to diagnose and begin treatment more quickly and accurately. 
•  

Human and Animal Food Business Group

•         Vet egg stearine innovation (Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya): An egg yolk color supplement for animal feed, developed from “stearine,” a waste product from red palm oil extraction. Processed into a powder for mixing with chicken feed, it not only brightens the egg yolks but also adds nutritional value with omega-3, vitamin E, and DHA, while simultaneously generating income for the agricultural sector.  

•         Dog Cookies (Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University): Barkies Cookies Licorice is a special dog treat that helps reduce fecal odor. It contains Thai licorice, which research shows can effectively absorb hydrogen sulfide gas, the source of the odor. The product is also organic, safe for the dog’s liver and kidneys, and can be consumed daily for continuous odor reduction.

•         Powerpuff VET (Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya): A product to prevent and treat the hooves of fighting bulls, made from palm kernel shells. It reduces inflammation and prevents infections, serving as a safe alternative to using formalin, which can irritate the bull’s skin. The product also contains keratin extract for nourishment, providing both preventative and curative care. Future plans include expanding to other animal markets.  
   

Entertainment and Lifestyle Business Group 

       SATI: An aromatic balm made from royally-granted vetiver grass that helps alleviate ADHD symptoms. Based on the principles of “Aromachology,” the scent’s essential oils stimulate the release of GABA, which reduces stress and balances brain function and emotions. It can also be used by working adults and students to improve focus and concentration. 

•         KIIPU (Khon Kaen University): An online claw machine platform that is easy to play via mobile phone. It’s a community for claw machine enthusiasts, featuring live-streamed competitions with friends and sticker sharing. Its key features are convenience for players and the assurance of authentic, licensed products. The platform plans to expand to other types of arcade games to provide fun anytime, anywhere. 

•         Waan Jai Thai Sato (Ubon Ratchathani University): A ready-to-use brewing kit for Thai Sato, a traditional Northeastern Thai drink. It uses an innovative enzyme that digests raw starch without heat, reducing steps and saving energy. This kit preserves the drink’s traditional charm, making it accessible to a new generation and foreign tourists who want to experience Thai culture.  

Economic Business Group  

•         SC2451 (Thaksin University): Cricktone, a peptone from crickets developed for use in culturing microorganisms for various industries like food, beverages, and medicine. Since Thailand currently imports all of its peptone, domestic production can significantly reduce costs for many industries. This project won Second Runner-Up. 

•         RIFFAI-LRAS (King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi): A satellite-based technology for monitoring global changes. It integrates satellite imagery with weather forecasts and uses AI to analyze the Earth’s surface in real-time. This helps various industries, especially the energy sector, manage risks by planning and adapting to climate and environmental changes promptly. 

• KLORA (Mae Fah Luang University): An effervescent tablet for restoring flowers. This innovation extends the life and freshness of flowers for up to 14 days. It utilizes zinc oxide nanotechnology to reduce microbial growth, a technology to efficiently deliver nutrients, and a pH control technology to maintain the flowers’ natural color. With these unique features, KLORA elevates the Thai ornamental flower industry, making it more competitive and sustainable. This team impressed the judges and successfully won First Place this year!
