Global CP Innovations and HealthyLicious Platform
Sakchai Buamoon, Advisor to the Office of the Chief Executive Officer at CP Group and Chairperson of the Technical Committee for CP Innovation Exposition 2026, stated: “This year, 90 innovations from CP Group business units across more than 10 countries will be showcased, reflecting how creativity can emerge from every location, every business unit, and people at every level. What makes these innovations compelling is not technology alone, but the perspective of the people who developed them, their ability to identify problems, understand needs, and create innovations by applying technology, improving work processes, and developing products and services. These efforts transform challenges and problems into promising solutions that can be practically applied in a business context while responding to the needs of consumers, society, and the environment.
Participants will be able to learn the story behind each innovation from the concept and the original problem to the process of developing solutions that can be put into use and create real value, as well as pathways for further development to benefit both business and society. The event will also select the outstanding innovations of the year through the Chairman Awards. CP Innovation Exposition is therefore not only an opportunity to showcase the strength and potential of CP people around the world, but also a source of inspiration for school students, university students, entrepreneurs, and the public to learn how creative thinking can lead to tangible change.”
In addition to the technology exhibits, the HealthyLicious platform will host researchers, startups, and SMEs presenting health and nutrition food products tailored to future consumer trends. Five finalist teams will pitch their concepts during the final round on October 22, 2026, for potential business development with CP Group.
