I would like to focus on deeper capacity development collaboration on "

Mekong-Lancang Digital Transformation Forum in Khonkean, Thailand"

The forum creates a space for stakeholders, including government officials, private sector leaders, academics, and international organizations, to share insights and successful strategies on digital innovation and technology (DIT). This helps countries learn from each other's experiences and adapt effective solutions to their specific contexts.

The forum aims to ensure that the benefits of digitalization reach all segments of the population, including marginalized and vulnerable communities.

The forum seeks to lay the groundwork for a comprehensive subregional innovation strategy. This strategy is designed to be consistent with broader regional frameworks, such as the Greater Mekong Subregion Digital Economic Cooperation Program Strategic Framework 2030 (GMS-2030)

The event facilitates partnerships and collaboration on key digital initiatives. This includes exploring ways to enhance cross-border cooperation in areas like trade, agriculture, energy, and environmental management.

Discussions often cover topics like the use of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) in sectors such as agriculture and trade. Additionally, a strong focus is placed on capacity development for human capital, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs), women, and youth, to ensure they can participate meaningfully in the digital economy.

A mutual discussion from all Thai delegates to a collaborative topic "Mekong Smart & Low-Carbon Agriculture Hub"

This is a topic to respond with the regional chronicle problem like the traditional farming and aging society. Such issues come with the less manpower in the sector, low-tech support for the effective and evaluative productivity, and high-carbon emission. Such problems allign with MI and the co-organizer's mission about decarbonization as well.

Thai team considers that each member can form a base ecosystem of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI), syncing each expertise as follows.

NSTDA, NECTEC =Technology Lead with a success researchs like HandySense B-Farm (Open Innivation Smart Farm) and ACamp (Automated Carbon Footprint Management Platform)

KKU Regional Science Park = Demonstration & Scale-up Hub, Knowledge & Incubation Hub

KKU  SME,  SI , Chamber of Commerce / Federation of Thai Industry (FTI) / Federation Association Small and Medium Enterprise (FA SME)= System Integretor (SI), Market Access & Adoption Champion

Draft idea of strategic actions, phase by phase

1 Establish “Mekong Smart & Low-Carbon Agriculture Hub”

- HandySense → core technology for smart farming

- ACamp → carbon accounting & GHG measurement

- Integration with depa KK,  KKU, Chamber → full ecosystem

2 Pilot Roll-Out in CLMV

- Training + demonstration farms (HandySense)

- Carbon accounting exercise (ACamp)

- SMEs & farmers in CLMV (the target groups)

At this stage, NECTEC can provide smart board and open-source code for the local trainers and trainees by:

- NECTEC trains the trainers with KKU and KK Private sectors with the support by MI.

- Next, the result from first training will be entended to trainees of CLMV.

3 Partnership with Zhejiang (China)

- Tuya Smart & Zhejiang University -> AIoT & Data platform → enhance HandySense B-Farm & ACamp

- Co-innovation & policy support

The Chinese partners are welcome to join in the training process as a co-trainer, but in the higher level and knowledge sharing of the success cases of Smart Agriculture in a multiple cities of China.

4 Mobilize Funding through Mekong Sustain & Co-Organizer

- Mekong Sustain (ESG, decarbonization for SMEs)

- China  (Scaling, Roll out)

✨ Key Message

👉 “Thailand proposes to driving Smart & Low-Carbon Agriculture as a regional innovation priority.

With our flagship technologies – HandySense B-Farm for smart farming and ACamp for carbon accounting – together with KKU SP, SI , depa KK and the Chamber of commerce KK , we propose to establish a Mekong Smart & Low-Carbon Agriculture Hub. This hub will pilot in CLMV, measure real GHG reduction, and connect with Zhejiang partners, forming a strong basis for future MI trainings & workshops"

I’d like to briefly share my key takeaways from the “Empowering Digital Innovation Hubs” workshop.

Over five days, we learned about Hangzhou’s digital success, China’s shift from making to leading tech, and how tech can support a greener future. Our visits in Bangkok to BDI, EEC, and DePa showed me the real power of regional teamwork.

I believe China and ASEAN can achieve great things together in AI. Guangxi, where I’m from, is focusing on applying AI tech from major Chinese companies here and introducing it to ASEAN markets.

I warmly invite you all to the China-ASEAN Expo in Nanning starting September 17th. There will be a special section on AI applications – a great chance to continue our conversations and explore opportunities.

Hope to see you there. Let’s work together for a bright digital future!
