| What is Ecothon?

Ecothon, an Eco-entrepreneurs' marathon for sustainable development, is a business model competition for promising eco-entrepreneurs who have an innovative business idea related to sustainable consumption and production (the "SCP"). Ecothon aims to support the entrepreneurs to transform an innovative SCP related business idea into a feasible business model. Ecothon looks forward to contributing to the spread of eco-entrepreneurship and the achievement of UN SDGs.

The event was first launched in Cambodia last year and this year's event will be held virtually in Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Myanmar due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
