Background story - Getting started
Recently my fellow co-founder of TNR, Per Sundberg and i got in to a discussion about how these examples and inspirational sources could be shared. We where also looking for local communities in our area that pulled together innovative entrepreneurs and progressive thinkers. In our research we found some highly inspirational small entrepreneurs and communities in Chiang Mai. However the biggest dilemma was that it was difficult to find common ground or spanning community to share experiences, best practises and coach each other to develop ones business or enterprise. So we thought such an idea cannot just be left behind. We immediately started brainstorming how we could participate toward creating such a community. We thought to ourselves that we ought to contribute back to the society in which we live our daily lives in a more active way. This would surely not only inspire our own lives, making it more meaningful, but also it could have the potential to inspire others with similar thoughts and ideas. A few days later, i had lunch with Olivier Laurent, one of the co-founders of Onyx Design.
Olivier shared almost exactly the same thoughts as us, so we instantly decided that it would be a great idea to get together over lunch. Could we possibly find some common ground on how to set up some kind of bridge spanning community that could be a resource of sustainable and social development for entrepreneurs in our region? During our brainstorming session Per popped the name Northern Green by chance. We all thought it was a brilliant name for a community supporting sustainable and social entrepreneurship here in the northern region of Thailand.
