Thailand, as an APEC economy with middle status of development, namely that of an advanced developing economy, is potentially a suitable venue for setting up the APEC Center for Technology Foresight. The project, proposed for feasibility study by Thailand’s National Science and Technology Development Agency and Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, has been accepted by the APEC Industrial Science and Technology Working Group (SITWG). This symposium marks the final phase of the feasibility study, and it is hoped that the outcome the symposium and the feasibility study as a whole will confirm the value and contribute towards the success of the APEC Center for Technology Foresight, for the benefit of all the member economies.
