On 23 February 2023, as part of his visit to Texas, Ambassador Tanee Sangrat toured Capital Factory, a startup community in Austin that has become a center of Texas startup ecosystem. Equipped with coworking space, conference rooms, necessary tools and technology, and networks of mentors and investors, Capital Factory serves startups in all stages. Their space provides an opportunity for entrepreneurs, investors, mentors and customers to meet, pitch, and expand their businesses in a casual setting.
