Strategic Collaboration between Thai-BISPA and Sustainism Initiatives at THAI-BISPA DAY 2025
Thailand is transitioning into an innovation-driven economy—an era that demands robust infrastructure, interconnected ecosystems, and unified policy support. In this context, the Thailand Business Incubation and Science Park Association (Thai-BISPA) serves as a national nexus for science parks and business incubation networks. Through collaboration with government, academia, and the private sector, Thai-BISPA advances the capacity of Thai entrepreneurs to compete on a global scale.
THAI-BISPA DAY serves as a national platform to mobilize “Innovation for Sustainability.” To amplify Thailand’s innovation capacity and promote high-potential enterprises to international recognition, Thai-BISPA has partnered with Sustainism Initiatives—an international mechanism under the Agricultural and Food Marketing Association for Asia and the Pacific (AFMA), which was jointly founded by the FAO and UNESCAP.
This landmark collaboration will be launched as part of the 2025 THAI-BISPA DAY, under the theme “Thailand’s Next Innovation Force – People Who Drive Innovation.” The initiative aims to identify and elevate Thai innovations with strong sustainability impact and demonstrable scalability for commercial expansion.
