ISPIM Connects Bangkok: Partnering for an Innovation Community

Thailand is on the road to becoming an innovation Hub in Southeast Asia. Government, private sector, universities and start-ups are working together to develop an innovation ecosystem to support the Thailand Government's economy 4.0 agenda. Thailand is eager to develop an inclusive, sustainable and technologically advanced economy, which is reflected, for example, in the emergence of digital parks, co-working spaces and in its vibrant community of entrepreneurs. A strong emphasis on social innovation is also an interesting characteristic of the Thai Innovation Landscape. Most large Thai organizations list innovation among their top strategic priorities and there is much to be learned from these companies innovating in constrained emerging markets.
