dtac Accelerate launches Global Expansion Track 

Global Expansion Track is the latest programme to be introduced by dtac Accelerate with the aim of widening opportunities for start-up companies to scale up to a global level. 
The programme will leverage Telenor Group’s global digital capability.
 Sompoat Chansomboon, director of dtac accelerate, said that the startup ecosystem in Thailand has grown by more than 100 times, worth US$236 million in the last year.
“ Some 70- 75 per cent of startups in the dtac accelerate programme have constantly received funds ranging from |seed funding to Series A-level funding. Surely, this shows the success of dtac Accelerate,” Sompoat said. 
“However, in order to push the Thai startup ecosystem to the next levels: from Series A to Series B and to the ultimate Series C, it truly is a challenge for everyone since less than 5 per cent of Thai startups can reach those levels. We really need more resources, investments, and management capabilities in order to leap to the high levels. Thus, we all have to involve in driving Thai startups to the global stage.”dtac accelerate is pleased to announce that T2P is the first Thai start-up selected to participate in the Global Expansion Track program. T2P is a Fin Tech startup that possesses key strength of being a solution provider for building and maintaining corporate client base. 
With Loyalty, a platform for a customer-loyalty program for member cash cards, and DeepPocket, an app that brings group of friends on social network to share the automatic payment and borrow money between e-wallets, T2P is the fast growing loyalty and cash card platform provider with over 1 million users, serving over 1,500 leading retail shops. 
Recently, the transactions via T2P platforms have reached over THB 250 Million. In the first quarter of this year, T2P has expanded its business by signing a joint venture deal with City Mart Holdings, the number one retail chain in Myanmar, and Telenor Myanmar, a leading 3G/4G service provider with 90 per cent population coverage, serving more than 18 million customers.
