Welcome to a thrilling new chapter in collaborative innovation, where sumptuous Spanish tapas meets the rich, aromatic world of Thai cuisine amidst the battle against food waste and the quest for a greener, healthier horizon. Picture the vibrancy of Spain and the warmth of Thailand joining forces in a grand ceremony – this is exactly what unfolded when Ms. Suchada Thaensap and H.E. Mr. Felipe de la Morena raised their glasses in a toast to a future rich in sustainability and technological breakthroughs.
Imagine a bustling forum, buzzing with over 100 luminaries: researchers, cutting-edge entrepreneurs, and government dignitaries, all converging in a symphony of ideas and innovation. We’re not just talking about any meeting, but a landmark melding of minds between Thailand and Spain, driven to escalate their cooperation in research and innovation to dazzling new heights.
The “Spain-Thailand Innovation & Tech Dialogue Platform” is more than an assembly; it’s a vibrant tapestry woven from the intricate threads of the Circular Economy and Agri-Food sectors. Anchored in the inspiring Thailand & Spain Innovating Program (TLSIP), this collaboration is kindling the fire of Innovation-driven R&D, forging bonds between the PMUC, MHESI, and the CDTI, under Spain’s prestigious Ministry of Science Innovation and Universities. Here, the promise of healthy and sustainable food products and processes is taking root.
Ms. Suchada Thaensap sees this as a prime opportunity to cultivate the growing partnership, blending Thai and Spanish expertise to sprout innovations that nourish the body and care for our planet. With an emphasis on functional foods and valorizing agri-food waste, she envisions a world where the fruits of this collaboration not only satisfy our palates but also foster a more robust environment.
And let’s not forget the dashing H.E. Mr. Felipe de la Morena, for whom this union signifies a blossoming synergy in research and innovation. It’s the dawn of a new era, catalyzed by the collaborative spirit and joint endeavors of MHESI and CDTI. The mutual ambition? To conjure food production systems that are as kind to our health as they are to Mother Earth.
The pièce de résistance? An ambitious quest titled “Innovarice Thai,” helmed by the esteemed Professor Apichart Vanavichit. It’s a tale of rice; not just any rice, but a ground-breaking low-glycemic, biofortified marvel crafted through precision breeding. With the vision to curb obesity and type-2 diabetes, this purple Thai-Indica and Spanish-Japonica rice variety could rewrite the annals of agronomy.
A cascade of action plans and commitments flowed from the congregation, forging a pact for 2024-2026. Mr. Javier Ponce, the cerebral Director General CDTI, passionately illuminated the path forward with tech-based alliances and joint projects focused on circular economy, clean technologies, and the intersection of agri-food and health adventures. This isn’t just a commitment; it’s a vow to transform ideas into market revolutions.
With the precision of a choreographed dance, PMUC’s Associate Professor Dr. Thongchai Suwonsichon detailed the action plan that promises to spark dialogue and innovation in sectors ripe for transformative change, like renewable energy and personalized medicine. The stage is set for two years brimming with promise and excitement.
PMUC isn’t just playing a role – it’s the linchpin of global partnership, bridging Thai universities and the industrial titans from every corner of the globe.
