Dr. Saravanee highlighted NXPO\u2019s role as a partner in the initiative, noting that the project is structured around three key pillars: 1) Digital Transition \u2013 promoting the adoption of digital technologies in production processes and management systems; 2) Innovation Transition \u2013 supporting value creation through advanced research, innovation; and 3) Green Transition \u2013 enabling business operations to align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. As a national policy agency in higher education, science, research, and innovation, NXPO seeks to support enterprises in leveraging innovation to enhance competitiveness. NXPO has also worked closely with OSMEP in developing the Green Enterprises Indicators for Circular Economy and Green Economy (GEI). This national standard serves as a mechanism to connect SMEs with financial facilities and incentives that support their transition toward green supply chains and expanding green markets. The initiative also promotes the development of a highly skilled workforce to support Thailand\u2019s transition to a low-carbon economy and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative aligns with a draft collaboration agreement among several organizations, including the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE), MHESI, the Ministry of Industry (MOI), OSMEP, the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), the Thai Chamber of Commerce (TCC), and the Thai Sustainable Consumption and Production Network (Thai SCP Network). In late 2024, these organizations jointly declared their commitment to advancing an innovation ecosystem that supports SMEs in transitioning toward a circular and green economy. This collaborative effort aims to strengthen green supply chains, expand access to green markets, and help Thai enterprises overcome emerging trade barriers\u2014thereby enhancing the competitiveness of both Thai businesses and the national economy. It also contributes to Thailand\u2019s goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n
