Envisioning tomorrow: A survey study of the regional science parks in Thailand 

In an era of rapid technological disruption and shifting global economic landscapes, science parks are no longer just innovation facilitators—they must become engines of transformation. This paper examines the future trajectory of science parks in Thailand over the next decade - analysing strategic importance, ecosystem dynamics, policy, key trends, and emerging technologies, as well as the challenges and uncertainties they face to provides actionable recommendations for their continued development. The results highlight three primary pillars that will drive the future of science parks in Thailand: innovation engines, collaborative hubs, and sustainability drivers. To fulfill these roles effectively, science parks must refine their operational models to align with evolving conditions. Key policy recommendations include establishing clear strategic vision, strengthening policy and funding frameworks, enhancing university-industry-government collaboration, investing in talent and leadership development, and strengthen branding and accessibility.
