Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECi),a key engine of Thailand’s BCG economy and one of ASEAN’s most advanced R&D testbeds.
We explored pilot-scale facilities, smart farming test zones, bioprocessing labs, and automation clusters. NTIS engaged with EECi on sandbox-driven R&D commercialization models, learning how they navigate regulatory flexibility and infrastructure access to accelerate deep tech.
The session also opened up a timely conversation on how EECi and Malaysia could collaborate to facilitate cross-border testing and mutual recognition of technology validation. This an important step as NTIS positions Malaysia as a regional sandbox gateway for ASEAN innovators.
