The new chief of the National Innovation Agency (NIA) has outlined its goal to become a "focal conductor" by connecting all public and private partners, aiming to create 20 billion baht's worth of economic impact and add 10,000 new innovation-based enterprises within four years. The move will turn Thailand into an innovation nation and put the country into the top 30 global innovation index of the World Intellectual Property Organisation by 2030, said Krithpaka Boonfueng, the NIA's third executive director, as she outlined her vision for 2024-2028. It will also focus on removing barriers to access and to leverage innovation for all sectors, along with revising regulations that could hinder growth, and increasing opportunities to access funding sources for both the public and private sectors. These will provide the opportunity to expand and create innovative Thai brands that are ready to compete with innovations from abroad. (ICE BANGKOK)
