As part of NSTDA, MTEC is committed to enhancing Thailand\u2019s leadership in science and technology, particularly in plastic innovation, in alignment with the national Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economic model. We focus on developing \u201cmaterials solution for net-zero emissions\u201d and high-value specialty products that reduce environmental impact. Today\u2019s innovators and entrepreneurs are vital in driving accessible, scalable, and eco-friendly technologies while navigating market and regulatory landscapes.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #000000;\">A standout element of the Demo Day was an idea-pitching session, showcasing six teams: three from Thailand\u2014\u201dUp-Sta-Sim,\u201d \u201cWaste 2 Cash\u201d, and \u201cDelifill\u201d; two from Cambodia\u2014\u201dPlantic Cambodia\u201d and \u201cTrash is Nice\u201d; and one from Laos\u2014\u201dPrint Squares.\u201d These teams emerged from the IPPIN Accelerator Program after eight weeks of intensive business planning and market analysis.
