It will draw on lessons from the past, address practical challenges of the present, and identify candidate directions that relevant partners may wish to explore further together.<\/p>\n<p>MTEC convenes the session as an open space for exchange in collaboration with invited partners and existing networks. The forum is not intended to establish a new organisation or prescribe an agenda on behalf of the rubber sector. Its purpose is to help participants see the value chain as one connected system and to create a more informed starting point for future dialogue and collaboration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will the forum explore?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Which future challenges should Thailand\u2019s rubber sector address together?<\/li>\n<li>What changes are emerging across the rubber value chain\u2014from raw materials to circular end-of-life solutions?<\/li>\n<li>Where are Thailand\u2019s research, industrial and infrastructure strengths already positioned?<\/li>\n<li>Which gaps require stronger connections among researchers, industry, users, government and existing networks?<\/li>\n<li>What practical directions should be taken forward for further discussion after MSAT-13?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 266px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 41.2955%; text-align: center; height: 24px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Talk Titles<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px; text-align: center;\">08:45\u201309:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 74.6288%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Opening Remarks and Shared Purpose<\/strong> \u2014 MTEC and invited partner organisations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 48px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 26px; text-align: center;\">09:00\u201309:10<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 41.2955%; vertical-align: top; height: 26px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Future Framing: From 40 Years to the Next 10 Years<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 48px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 48px; text-align: center;\">09:10\u201310:20<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 41.2955%; vertical-align: top; height: 48px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Future Missions Forum: Six Voices, One Rubber Value Chain<\/strong> \u2014 perspectives from upstream and raw-material quality; green processing; synthetic-rubber materials; tyre and product manufacture; users and future markets; and end-of-life circularity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px; text-align: center;\">10:20\u201310:30<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 74.6288%; text-align: center; vertical-align: top; height: 24px;\" colspan=\"2\">Refreshment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 48px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 48px; text-align: center;\">10:30\u201311:10<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 41.2955%; vertical-align: top; height: 48px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Legacy Dialogue: What Must Thai Rubber Carry Forward?<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px; text-align: center;\">11:10\u201311:35<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 74.6288%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Audience Mission Board: Questions, Priorities and Expression of Interest<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px; text-align: center;\">11:35\u201311:50<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 74.6288%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>What We Heard: Mission Synthesis and Next Steps<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25.3711%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px; text-align: center;\">11:50\u201312:00<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 74.6288%; vertical-align: top; height: 24px;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Closing Remarks<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>Note: The program is subject to change without prior notice.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Forum Hosts:<\/strong> Dr. Surapich Loykulnant and Dr. Pairote Jittham<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legacy Dialogue<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Legacy Dialogue will connect experience from Thailand\u2019s rubber research and industry with the challenges ahead.
