2 “Foundation” Strategies and Key Actions
Strategy 4:
Developing and
enhancing STI
human capital
Strategy 5:
Promoting and
supporting the
development of
STI infrastructure
and enabling
factors
• Support HRD to increase the ratio of students
graduated with bachelor degrees in science and
technology to 60%
• Support HRD and provide incentives to increase R&D
personnel to 25 persons (FTE) per 10,000 of total
population, of which 60% are in the private sector
• Promote science awareness, STI capacity building
programs and society of life-long learning
• Improve STI infrastructure and enabling factors to
improve the country ranking in S&T infrastructure by
IMD
• Increase total R&D investment to 1% of GDP by 2016
and 2% by 2021
• Develop STI infrastructure, policy incentives and legal
measures such as regional science parks, national
labs, tax incentives, matching grants, VC and IP
management system. The goal is to stimulate R&D in
the private sector to account for at least 70% of total
national R&D investment by 2016.

Government Policy on Science, Technology, Research
and Innovation
Expedite the development of a knowledge-based society by developing the
population’s general scientific knowledge to match international standards; provide more public
knowledge resources through physical means such as science museums and publications and virtual
means through the information technology network; and, raise standards on science and technology
educational at all levels.
Expedite the production of scientists, researchers and science teachers to
match the demands of the country in order to support national development and pave
the way for Thailand’s transformation into an innovative knowledge based economy; support
professional advancement of researchers and make available opportunities for researchers both in the
public and private sectors.
Promote investment and cooperation between the public and private
sectors, as well as higher education institutions to foster research and development and technology
transfer in support of economic and social development which encompasses the development of local
wisdom, agriculture, industrial and service sectors, especially in areas that are vital to national
development, such as biodiversity, and in which Thailand possesses high potential.
Increase efficiency of the research management system
through forming a
cooperative network of relevant agencies, research institutes and higher education institutions to reduce
duplication and enhance capacity; formulating a Master Plan with the objective of clarifying research
objectives and placing emphasis on creating a comprehensive research plan, from basic research to its
application to a finished product, thus maximizing the value chain; and, promoting investment in
research with a view to reaching a level equivalent to 2% of the Gross Domestic Product.
Promote the use of space technology and geo-informatics to support natural
resources management, agricultural production planning, disaster prevention and relief, raising the
standard of living and enhancing national competitiveness

KI 8 Thematic Tracks
1. ASEAN Innovation for Global Market
ASEAN innovation through science and technology can benefit both ASEAN and global markets.
Locally, ASEAN indigenous capabilities in products and services can benefit common people, raising
quality of life both in the form of appropriate and emerging technologies. Utilizing our locally
available resources and innovation can also extend to the global markets and contribute to ASEAN
competitiveness.
2. Digital Economy, New Media and Social Networking
The revolution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) paves the way for a more
pervasive and knowledge-based society. In this regard, ASEAN in the digital age must make sure the
accessibility and affordability of ICT and useful applications covering social networking, mobile
communication, disaster management, healthcare improvement and gender equality to name a
few.
3. Green Technology
Climate change is starting to show visible impact globally. In response to the increasing demand for
industrial production to be more environmental friendly, STI should play a pivotal role in upgrading
the industry by making use of low-carbon and cleaner technology. STI for mitigation and
adaptation to climate change will be crucial for ASEAN sustainable development.
4. Food Security
STI plays a vital role in ensuring food security for ASEAN 600 million population. From productivity
improvement and optimization, appropriate mechanization of farms, appropriate food safety
standards and access to adequate nutritional requirement to modern biotechnology that cater for
both food and energy security. ASEAN should also extend our capacity in food production to
dialogue partners including China and India.
26
KI 8 Thematic Tracks (Cont.)
5. Energy Security
The fluctuation of oil price and the increasing global demand of energy for economic development
make it necessary for ASEAN to ensure energy security in the region. STI is vital in increasing energy
efficiency and developing next-generation alternative energy sources.
6. Water Resource Management
Realizing that water is critical to both living and production, ASEAN should utilize STI in effective
water management. In order to ensure stable access to clean water, innovations should be
extensively promoted to facilitate water utilization and waste water treatment, mitigate disaster
from flood and prevent water scarcity.
7. Biodiversity for Health and Wealth
ASEAN is one of the most biodiversity-rich region in the world. Efforts should be made in
preservation and appropriate use of this resource for the improvement of health and value creation.
In this regard, STI is instrumental in collective discovery of new species, developing effective
preservation methods and create values from biodiversity and its applications in food, health and
energy areas.
8. Science and Innovation for Life
The future of ASEAN is in the hands of our youth today. ASEAN youth who are well-equipped with
science literacy and technology competency are the hope for ASEAN prosperity. Creativity and
passion in STI instilled in our youth will pave the way for the capacity building and life-long learning
of future ASEAN population. This entails innovative ecosystem in schools, vocational and higher
education institutions as well as bridging learning system to professions and career path.
27
KI 5 Paradigm Shifts
Mainstream science, technology and
innovation (STI) into ASEAN citizens’
ways of lives. Innovation eco-systems are to
be created in ASEAN community at all levels.
Due recognitions are given to citizens with
outstanding STI achievements as the role
models.
Public-Private Partnership should be
strengthened through proactive dialogs and
establishments of engaging platforms such
as government-linked-companies and corporate
social responsibility activities.
Public-Private
Partnership
Platform
Green STI integration platform in
its transformation towards lowcarbon society. Science-based public
awareness on environmental-friendly
life style is to be instilled. Appropriate
technologies and green innovations are
to be promoted among ASEAN member
countries in order to become
competitive and yet remain sustainable.

Special attention should be given to the
Bottom-of- majority of the ASEAN population_ the
bottom-of-the-pyramid. In this regard,
thePyramid consideration must be accorded to the
outcomes of STI addressing on
Focus
human basic needs such as foods,
habitat, health, and access to
information and knowledge.
Opportunities for young people to enhance their STI
potentials and entrepreneurship are to be enlarged.
Examples of measures to be taken include Young ASEAN
STI Awards, cross-country attachment program and seed
funding to support youth-focused innovations.
