WHAT WE DO
“The children of today are the adults of tomorrow”.
What about businesses? They will also grow bigger as well.
“… Our country will prosper or deteriorate depends on the education of the people. Each individual is important. The results of today’s education will determine the nation’s future. One is, therefore, directly responsible for this. When you graduate as a teacher, you must fully fulfil your duty…”
Translated from one part of the Royal Speech given at the Graduation Ceremony to the graduates of Graduate School of Education, Prasarnmit, 2 December 1965.
Creating people is a long-term job which cannot be changed easily, especially to develop the mental well-being to grow stronger; is a difficult task that takes time.

Prompt Institute
Leads to sufficiency.
We develop people to be ready today in order to create a sustainable economy in the future.
The PROMPT Entrepreneurship Institute, has an objective to solve economic problems of the Thai people. The task involves educating, developing a body of knowledge, creating, promoting and supporting the necessary environmental factors based on Sufficiency Economy Philosophy and the New Theory to produce entrepreneurs who are well behaved with logical and reasonable perspectives, ideas, leadership, self-sufficiency, and can make decisions based on accuracy rather than greed. Additionally, the institute further supports the improvement of life quality of the stakeholders as well.
BUSINESS PROGRAMS
There are different goals for people at different ages. Hence, The Prompt Institute caters the development projects into 3 different projects to suit each of the target learners as follows:
reX Project (reX)
Target - Youth aged 13-22.
Projects to promote and develop the potential of the young heirs (Offsprings School): Sustainability will only happen when people in the past and in the present era share their knowledge, experiences, and stories of their history while passing it on to the next generation, the ‘youth’. reX projects does not aim to build business heirs, rather it focuses on developing young people who will carry on the legend from the previous generation and ready to make sustainability a reality.
PLUS Project (PLUS)
Target - Entrepreneurs aged 24-50.
PLUS Project promotes and develops the potential of Small to Medium-sized entrepreneurs (Parents’ school): “Enough to live and eat” necessarily begins with knowledge and virtue. This takes time to develop mindset and spirituality while focusing on building integration of this group of people, which will be the key to the country’s further development.
MIND Project (Mind)
Target - Retirees who still want to continue working aged 55 years and over.
Mind Project aims to promote and develop the potential of senior entrepreneurs and retirement age startups (Grandparents’ school): “Buddhist way to prepare before death” is more valuable than any wealth in the last stage of life. There are many retirees who have lost their money to care for themselves through investments and entrepreneurship. It is, therefore, to provide them with correct and precise knowledge, along with presenting a perspective to pass on knowledge to the next generation. “Getting used to giving” is also more appropriate for this age group than acquiring more and more.
PLUS Project: Develop Potential & Sustainable Development.
This project promotes and develops potential and sustainable development for Small to Medium Entrepreneurs.
