It is a great pride of Khon Kaen University and Thai people that the work from KKU Science Park, “the Maker Greenovation Platform”, is enlisted among the best ten works out of over 200 works all over the world. The Inspiring Solutions Programme was held at the 37th Virtual IASP World Conference 2020 in Spain, hosted by the International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP) on December 1-3, 2020. There were over 350 participating organization members from 76 countries.
Dr. Apirachai Wongsriworapon, Director of Khon Kaen University Science Park, as the head of the Maker Greenovation Platform revealed the route towards the success that the winning comes from attempts and plans to pin KKU name at the world venue starting two years ago.
“The International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP) is a world-class organization joined by Science Parks all over the world that see the importance to propel and develop innovations. Each country, with good economic development and high GDP, has a lot of Science Parks. At present, Thailand has 16 Science Parks, but only 3 are IASP members including Thailand Science Park, KKU Science Park, and PSU Science Park. KKU joined the membership in 2020. To become a member, a science park is required to be of a high standard. It is not just submitting an application and production. There are processes of detailed inspection from management and administration, from measuring the competence of organization personnel in developing innovation-based businesses, mechanisms or activities that creates an innovative-ecological system, infrastructures of science and technology, advanced scientific laboratories that serves the private sector, buildings and space for research; all of which must meet the international standards. This is not to mention that the organization must have worked with other science parks before.”
IASP holds the competition every year to exchange knowledge that will create innovations. Every year the topic changes to meet the world situation. In 2020, IASP’s theme was Inspiring Solutions Programme that aimed to find something to solve the world problems or develop the world population. Khon Kaen University Science Park, only in its first year of membership, sent the work called “Maker Greenovation” with the concept and mechanism to build entrepreneurs who create environmental conservation innovations for sustainability to the competition, as a try-out.
