The National Innovation Agency (NIA) urges political parties to give the use of innovation top priority to solve problems in order to increase competitiveness, reduce corruption and climate change while continuing to push the policy to build a "Thailand Innovation" brand.
Innovation is key to driving economic growth and improving the quality of life and equality, according to Pun-arj Chairatana, the agency's executive director.
"We see in the ongoing election campaigns that political parties don't mention an 'innovation policy' but focus on populist policies," he said.
