On 30 June 2026, the APEC Center for Technology Foresight (APEC CTF), under the Office of National Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Policy Council (NXPO), welcomed Mdm Hazami Habib, Vice-Chair of APEC’s Policy Partnership on Science, Technology and Innovation (PPSTI) and Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM), for the “MOIP Strategic Dialogue” at the Promthep Room, NXPO / APEC CTF.

The visit provided an opportunity for strategic exchange on how technology foresight can support Thailand STI system, strengthen policy design, and enhance regional collaboration.

APEC CTF briefed Mdm Hazami on its mandate, current work, and foresight initiatives in APEC, including its role in supporting anticipatory policy, emerging technology analysis, and cross-economy cooperation. The discussion also explored potential linkages between MOIP and Thailand’s STI system, particularly in applying foresight approaches to identify future opportunities, connect innovation ecosystems, and translate emerging signals into practical policy and collaboration pathways.

The meeting continued with an office visit and informal exchange, allowing both sides to discuss possible areas of future cooperation. The dialogue concluded with a wrap-up session, group photo, and discussion on next steps to further advance collaboration between APEC CTF, APEC members, and MOIP-related initiatives.

This strategic dialogue reflects APEC CTF’s continued commitment to promoting technology foresight as a tool for evidence-informed policy, regional innovation cooperation, and future-ready development across the Asia-Pacific region.
