The Thailand Science Park (TSP) : First and Fully integrated R&D hub for science and technology.

Thailand Science Park was set up in 2002. It is managed by the Technology Management Center (TMC) of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) under the Ministry of Science and Technology. TSP is a critical part of Thailand's efforts to strengthen its capabilities in research and innovation. This important infrastructure is established to promote greater innovativeness and encourage more R&D activities within the technology intensive sectors. In addition to advanced facilities and business space, the TSP offers a full range of value-added services to support technology businesses. TSP currently houses the NSTDA headquarters, the TMC and the four national research centers, namely: •National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC) •National Metal and Material Technology Center (MTEC) •National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) •National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC)

Phase 1 of the TSP consisting of over 140,000 sq.m. of built-up space has been completed and is fully occupied by the 4 national research centers and more than 60 corporate tenants.

Phase 2 of the TSP, which has been designated INC 2, comprises 4 inter-connected towers which creates over 124,000 sq.m. of total floor area. INC 2 is built around the concept of “Work-Life Integration”. It is designed to create a conducive environment for technology companies, in which their talented people can live, work and play. INC 2 aims to adapt to the ever-changing needs of today’s knowledge workers. INC 2 provides its R&D-oriented tenants with a comprehensive suite of business facilities and a superb working environment. The modular design of the four towers of INC 2 makes it easy to accommodate the different needs of R&D intensive companies. INC 2 offers: •Designated areas for laboratories requiring vibration control and special preparation •Specific areas at the base of the fours towers suitable for setting up equipment requiring floor loading allowance •Link-ways between the 4 towers to foster interaction and networking among the tenants •Direct access to the state-of-the-art Thailand Science Park Convention Center consisting of 14 meeting rooms, an auditorium and 2,000 sq.m. exhibition area
