Somphote Ahunai is the King of Renewable Energy in Southeast Asia. He is only 53 year old and he started less than 20 years ago. Surprisingly he made his first fortune in securities. Then he made a disaster investment in an unprofitable firm producing palm oil. The turnaround came when he branched into solar energy and wind farms. He was helped by heavy Thai Government subsidy, by Board of Investment. He moved up the Product chains very fast, from palm oil to diesel fuels, from solar to wind farms, from electric vehicles to electric ferry. His missing piece was EV battery, this he found by acquiring a Taiwanese EV battery firm with 20 years of experience. He wants to invest in Commercial EV. Thailand already has a strong auto industry base when he started. Finally, to be a winner, do these 3 things: do things differently, do things faster and stronger.
