The Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) model, Thailand's new economic model for inclusive and sustainable growth, can boost business opportunities after the pandemic has subsided, local experts told an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum yesterday.
The BCG touches on four economic sectors linked to Thailand's biodiversity and cultural diversity, said Janekrishna Kanatharana, vice president and executive director of the Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECi).
Those sectors are food and agriculture; medical and wellness; energy, material and biochemicals; and tourism and the creative economy, said Mr Janekrishna, who also serves as vice president of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA).
