It brought together women leaders, scientists, researchers, innovators, policymakers, and regional partners to promote inclusive innovation, leadership, mentorship, and collaboration across ASEAN.
Dr. Pimpa was invited to deliver the featured address, “Women Shaping ASEAN’s Future through Science and Technology,” and participate in the panel discussion, “Women Innovating for ASEAN.” Drawing on her experience as the winner of the 2023 ASEAN-U.S. Science Prize for Women and her leadership in energy research and innovation, she shared her perspectives across three key themes: Personal Reflections, Energy Storage Discovery, and S&T Journey Leading to Impact. These themes highlighted her personal experiences as a scientist, the exploration and development of energy storage technologies, and the journey of translating scientific and technological expertise into meaningful impact.
Her participation reflects ENTEC’s commitment to international scientific collaboration, energy innovation, and advancing women’s contributions to science and technology in support of a sustainable future for the ASEAN region.
