March 5, 2025, the APEC Center for Technology Foresight (APEC CTF) was invited by the Future Studies Center of Thailand’s National Intelligence Agency to serve as a speaker in a strategic foresight workshop on “The Future of Digital Government and Disaster Management.” The event took place at the Phakdee Meeting Room, Abloom Exclusive Serviced Apartment, Phaholyothin Soi 3, Bangkok.

The workshop was jointly organized by the Future Studies Center and the Thai PBS Social Agenda and Public Policy Communication Center, aiming to exchange knowledge and strategic directions for leveraging technology and innovation to enhance disaster management capabilities in the digital government era.

Key objectives of the workshop included analyzing trends and driving forces influencing digital government and disaster management, identifying strategic policy directions, and promoting inter-agency collaboration in driving these national agendas. The results and insights gathered will contribute to a long-term strategic assessment report to be submitted to the Prime Minister, supporting future national policy planning.

Led by Dr. Srichattra Chaivongvilan, Strategist 1 APEC CTF, the afternoon foresight session focused on “Future Scenarios for Digital Government and Disaster Management.” The session applied foresight tools such the “Future Triangle” and “Mont Fleur Scenario Analysis” to explore driving forces, visions, and obstacles, and to co-create future policy scenarios and identify key stakeholders.
