<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the four-day programme, participants learned key foresight concepts and methods, including the analysis of signals, trends, drivers of change, and uncertainties affecting future food systems. They subsequently applied these insights through the <strong>Future Food Change Agent Canvas</strong>, facilitated by Dr. Porramate Chumyim, Senior Advisor at the NSTDA.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The process resulted in <strong>four project concepts</strong> addressing future food challenges in the APEC region:</p>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Gene-edited seeds for urban agriculture</strong><br>The concept proposes the use of gene-editing technologies to develop heat-tolerant, high-yield soybean varieties, with the aim of improving access to affordable protein for low-income urban households. A pilot was proposed for Taling Chan District, Bangkok.</li>



<li><strong>Agricultural residue data and reference pricing platform</strong><br>This concept focuses on developing data systems and common standards for agricultural residues, such as cassava pulp and sugarcane bagasse, to support transparent markets, reduce open burning and PM2.5 pollution, and create additional income opportunities for smallholder farmers.</li>



<li><strong>Local protein processing hubs for undernourished children</strong><br>The concept proposes shared production infrastructure for SMEs, together with technical, nutritional, and standards-related support, to produce affordable and high-quality protein-rich foods. A pilot was proposed for schools in Kuala Lumpur.</li>



<li><strong>Low-cost circular fermentation</strong><br>This concept proposes utilizing by-products from the agriculture and food industries through fermentation processes to produce high-value and affordable food products. The initial pilot was proposed with SMEs in Henan Province, with potential for expansion through regional networks.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The four project concepts were assessed by a five-member judging panel representing four APEC economies: Malaysia, Peru, Chinese Taipei, and Thailand. The panel included:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Prof. Dr. Shu-Yii Stein Wu, APEC ACABT, Chinese Taipei</li>



<li>Mr. Felipe Donato Valentín Rojas, CONCYTEC, Peru</li>



<li>Dr. Tan Shu Ying, MIGHT, Malaysia</li>



<li>Dr. Kommate Jitvanichphaibool, APEC CTF, Thailand</li>



<li>Dr. Porramate Chumyim, NSTDA, Thailand</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The NXPO &#8211;  APEC CTF delegation was led by Dr. Kommate Jitvanichphaibool, Assistant President of NXPO and Deputy Executive Director of the APEC Center for Technology Foresight (APEC CTF), together with Dr. Nattamon Suwanaprom and Ms. Jiraphan Christian Linares, Policy Developers from NXPO’s Strategic Foresight and Futures Studies Division and APEC CTF.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="683" src="https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture3-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2139" srcset="https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture3.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The delegation joined meetings under the APEC Policy Partnership for Science, Technology and Innovation (PPSTI) on 19–20 August 2026, contributing to discussions on future directions for regional cooperation in science, technology and innovation (STI), including the development of new APEC project Concept Notes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A key focus of the meeting was the advancement of Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy (MOIP) through a Mission Map, which aims to connect STI cooperation with key regional priorities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The work is organized under three PPSTI sub-groups: Sub-group A: Strengthen Science Capacity; Sub-group B: Promote an Enabling Environment for STI; and Sub-group C: Enhance Regional S&amp;T Connectivity. Together, the three groups contribute to developing initiatives aligned with MOIP objectives and PPSTI priorities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the meeting, Dr. Kommate Jitvanichphaibool exchanged views with representatives of APEC economies on the future direction of PPSTI, particularly on how to define objectives and monitor outcomes of sub-missions under the MOIP framework. The discussion emphasized the need to link mission-level goals with clear and measurable outcomes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Participants also proposed further consultations among economies involved in developing the MOIP framework to refine the approach and prepare recommendations for further consideration by PPSTI.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, Dr. Nattamon Suwanaprom and Ms. Jiraphan Christian Linares participated in the Sub-group A meeting, exchanging views on APEC initiatives such as Tech for Good, InnoFuture of Smart Mobility, and the Open Innovation Workshop. These projects demonstrate how STI can be mobilized to strengthen regional capabilities and support shared priorities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture4-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2140" srcset="https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture4-300x200.jpg 300w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture4-767x511.jpg 767w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture4.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The MOIP discussions highlighted the importance of starting with clear and ambitious missions, while bringing together governments and stakeholders from different sectors to translate knowledge, technologies and innovation into concrete regional actions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During SOM3, Ms. Jiraphan Christian Linares, representing APEC CTF, also joined a Roundtable Discussion with representatives from China, Peru, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and Mexico on APEC’s role in promoting an Open Innovation Ecosystem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="682" src="https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture5-1024x682.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2141" srcset="https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture5-767x511.jpg 767w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture5-300x200.jpg 300w, https://apecctf.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Picture5.jpg 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She shared Thailand’s experience in using Open Innovation to help bridge the commercialization gap between research and market application, as well as the geographical gap in access to resources, networks and innovation opportunities. Thailand’s experience highlighted the role of government support, funding mechanisms and innovation intermediaries, such as science parks, in enabling broader access to innovation and supporting commercialization.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thailand’s participation in APEC SOM3 and PPSTI meetings provided an important opportunity to contribute to shaping regional STI cooperation and exchange policy experiences with other APEC economies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In particular, connecting Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy, which focuses on shared missions to address complex challenges, with Open Innovation, which enables collaboration across sectors, can help translate regional priorities into practical initiatives and measurable impact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The APEC CTF continues to support foresight and futures thinking in science, technology and innovation by facilitating knowledge exchange and forward-looking policy dialogue among APEC economies, helping the region anticipate emerging changes and develop more responsive forms of cooperation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The report will help policymakers and relevant organisations anticipate major transformations, emerging risks, opportunities, and critical uncertainties. Through this process, Thailand will be better positioned to navigate global volatility and complex challenges towards 2030, while building a stronger foundation for long-term national development.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The workshop formed part of a broader foresight process that began with horizon scanning across five dimensions under the <strong>STEEP framework: Social, Technology, Economy, Environment, and Policy</strong>. Emerging signals identified through the scanning process were reviewed and developed into shortlisted signals, key drivers, critical uncertainties, and cross-domain linkages before being assessed through Cross-impact Analysis.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The experts presented preliminary findings covering <strong>Shortlisted Signals, Drivers, Key Uncertainties, and Cross-domain Links</strong>, enabling participants to consider the range of changes that could influence Thailand in the coming years. Participants then reviewed and refined the definitions of the drivers to improve their clarity, minimise overlap, and ensure their suitability for cross-domain analysis.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the workshop, participants jointly developed a <strong>Cross-impact Matrix</strong> to assess how each driver could influence other drivers. The exercise considered positive and negative impacts, the strength of each relationship, reinforcing and balancing effects, and interactions that could create new uncertainties or wider systemic consequences. Participants subsequently identified the most significant interactions and examined which factors could act as major driving forces, which factors remained highly uncertain, and which could become critical turning points for Thailand. These findings will inform the development of <strong>scenario logics</strong> for the next stage of the Thailand Horizon 2030 process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The activity also demonstrated the role of the <strong>Thailand Foresight Alliance</strong> in connecting knowledge and expertise across policy organisations and academic institutions. Through this collaboration, the Alliance supports a more systematic national foresight process and strengthens Thailand’s capacity to develop policies that respond effectively to future change, complexity, and uncertainty.</p>
