Thailand Science Park under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) and the Digital Economy (DE) sector, together with over 20 agencies, have launched the "TSP Scale X Landing Program." This initiative aims to create new growth pathways for both Thai and international startups.
On 13 July 2026, at the first floor of Innovation Cluster 2 (Building 19), Thailand Science Park, Pathum Thani, Thailand Science Park (TSP) held a press conference to unveil the TSP Scale X Landing Program under the concept "Two Journeys. One Ecosystem." The project "Thailand Science Park Scale x Landing Program." Thailand Science Park recognizes the need to establish a new support mechanism that not only helps startups access funding but also connects entrepreneurs with markets, industry, research, and essential partner networks for growth, to foster the expansion of startups and innovation businesses.
The program is designed to support both foreign startups seeking to enter the Thai and ASEAN markets and Thai startups aiming to expand globally, through collaboration among government, industry, education, investors, and international partners on a single platform.
Dr. Chularat Tanprasert, Director of Thailand Science Park, said that innovation today does not arise from any single organization working alone but through collaboration among research, industry, investment, and entrepreneurs, which is the direction Thailand must pursue.
To enhance long-term competitiveness, the key challenge for startups is not only technological development but also accessing appropriate markets, customers, industry, talent, and funding sources. No startup grows alone, especially when entering new markets. Startups need more than just capital; they require access to business networks, infrastructure, and partners to reduce time and risk in scaling up.
Under this program, TSP will act as an Ecosystem Orchestrator, connecting the capabilities of all sectors to collaborate efficiently, helping startups grow faster, reduce costs, and minimize risks in business expansion.
Amid intense innovation competition in the region, TSP views the ability to link people, technology, capital, and markets as a critical factor defining Thailand's role as a destination for technology businesses and startups in ASEAN's future.
Dr. Chularat added that for international startups, the program is designed under the concept of Land • Localise • Commercialise to reduce costs and risks entering the Thai market — from company establishment, connecting with government and industry agencies, adapting products for the Thai market, developing pilot projects, to commercial scaling. The goal is to make Thailand a starting point for expanding into the ASEAN market for tech companies and startups worldwide.
Meanwhile, Thai startups will receive support linking them to customers, industry, investors, laboratories, and partner networks abroad to address critical growth challenges such as lack of customers, testing spaces for technology, or opportunities for international market expansion.
A key feature of the program is providing startups access to national science, research, and innovation resources from a single point, including researchers from five national research centers, laboratories, research equipment, prototype factories, analytical and standard testing services, and a network of over 120 technology companies within TSP.
Additionally, the program receives support from partners domestically and internationally, including agencies under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DE), Thammasat University, Panyapiwat Institute of Management, as well as innovation and industry organizations such as SCG Cement-Building Materials Co., Ltd., to jointly create sustainable growth pathways for technology entrepreneurs.
The launch of the TSP Scale X Landing Program is not merely a new project introduction but reflects a shift in supporting Thai startups — moving from focusing solely on incubation or funding toward creating "real markets" and "real business opportunities" through multi-sector collaboration.
TSP plans to officially open applications for the first cohort of the TSP Scale X Landing Program on 15 July 2026. Interested parties can find detailed information about the program, eligibility criteria, and application procedureson the website.
