The National Innovation Agency (NIA) was established <strong>by</strong> the Ministry of<br />
Science and Technology on October 1, 2003. It is an autonomous organization<br />
operating under the policy guidance of the National Innovation Board, chaired <strong>by</strong><br />
the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology. This special<br />
organizational structure, which is outside the normal framework of state enterprise<br />

economic and social development.<br />
The National Innovation Agency functions as a core organization in<br />
coordinating, networking and partnering with different organizations from various<br />
fields, such as education, technology, finance and investment, but mainly focuses on<br />
utilizing knowledge management to achieve innovation, particularly to induce<br />
“innovation on Cluster Platform” which uses innovation as the principal tool in<br />
improving the quality of life and as a driving tool for competitive economics.<br />
National Innovation Agency<br />
Our core activities involve three main areas namely:<br />
1) Upgrading innovation capability<br />
2) Promoting innovation culture<br />
3) Building up innovation systems<br />
The exhibition area of NIA at EcoInnovAsia 2008 celebrates the achievements<br />
of Thailand’s innovators through the showcases of winners for National Innovation<br />
Awards for Economic Contribution, National Innovation Awards for Social<br />
Contribution and Rice Innovation Awards.<br />

Asia and the Pacific, dedicated to promoting economic and social development in<br />
Asia and the Pacific. Founded in 1947 in Shanghai China, it moved to Bangkok,<br />
Thailand in 1949. It consists of 53 members and nine associate members. Members<br />
and associate members of UNESCAP meet annually at the ministerial level to<br />
discuss economic and social issues and the challenges that face the region, as well as<br />
to approve the work program. An advisory committee of permanent representatives<br />
from embassies in Bangkok meets monthly to advise the Executive Secretary. The<br />
Commission reports to the United Nations Economic and Social Council in New<br />
York.UNESCAP is the most comprehensive intergovernmental body covering the<br />
Asian and Pacific countries. Thus it can address interdependent and multidimensional<br />
problems from a multispectral and inter-country perspective. The focus is<br />
now on narrowing disparities through action oriented program in three thematic<br />
areas: reducing poverty, managing globalization and addressing emerging social<br />
issues. As a result of the comparative advantages of UNESCAP– its regional<br />
convening authority, and its role as a regional focal point for world conferences, it<br />
is strategically positioned to broker regional agreements and action plans, setting<br />
regional norms and standards, and through its policy advocacy, it supports<br />
implementation. In addition to its regional authority, UNESCAP can influence the<br />
global agenda. The value of its research and analytical work is based on its impartial<br />
role, its long institutional memory with a document and information base, and its<br />
interdisciplinary approach. It can also call upon a large, well established network of<br />
intergovernmental and civil contacts. The work program reflects the needs of<br />
member countries in a cost effective way because of in-house expertise.<br />

Company Profile:<br />
Originally established in January 1920, Mazda started manufacturing tools<br />
in 1929 and soon branched out into production of trucks for commercial use. In the<br />
early 1960s, Mazda launched its first passenger car models and began developing<br />
rotary engines. Still headquartered in Hiroshima in western Japan, Mazda Motor<br />
Corporation today ranks as one of Japan’s leading automakers.<br />
Mazda has been exporting cars to the United States and Europe for over 40<br />
years and has two main production sites in Japan and 14 overseas facilities.<br />
Overseas sites include AutoAlliance (Thailand) Co. Ltd. (AAT), a joint venture<br />
established in 1995 with Ford Motor Company, Mazda’s largest shareholder. AAT<br />
produces approx. 85,000 units of pick-up, BT-50 as CBU and CKD a year and exports<br />
to almost 90 destinations worldwide. Mazda, jointly with Ford, is further investing<br />
in AAT in order to produce new compact hatchback and sedan from year 2009.<br />
National Innovation Agency<br />
Mazda boasts an illustrious history of engineering innovation, symbolized<br />
<strong>by</strong> the rotary engine. Although many leading firms attempted to adapt the concept,<br />
only Mazda persevered and succeeded in creating a commercial sports car engine.<br />
Today, Mazda is the only manufacturer in the world that makes gasoline, diesel and<br />
rotary internal combustion engines. As the latest example of innovation, Mazda has<br />
successfully produced the world’s first hydrogen rotary-engine vehicle. Mazda will<br />
continuously strive for sustainable mobility in the future. Mazda’s raison d’étre is to<br />
make cars that are fun to drive-cars that enthuse but are also affordable. The brand<br />
message “Zoom-Zoom” aims to capture this feeling, expressing the passionate spirit<br />
of motoring enjoyment that drives Mazda forward.<br />

R&D Center was established in 2003 for the benefit of our customer. A team of<br />
experienced, as well as young active researchers are working continuously on new<br />
products and solutions.Responding to the ever growing demand from the markets<br />
for a truly biodegradable “plastic”, PMTC stated in 2006 with the development of<br />
PLA formulated compounds for injections molding, blown-film production, as well<br />
as for calendaring of films. Production of PLA starts with fermentation of biomaterials<br />
(corn, wheat, cassava starch, etc) to form glucose and then turn into Lactic Acid.<br />
Followed <strong>by</strong> a Ring-opening reaction, the lactic acid is then polymerized to PLA.<br />
The use of PLA can help to reduce waste and finite petroleum resources. It is a truely<br />
environmentally-friendly, responsible, “green” polymer for the world.<br />
