Cyberport, a digital tech hub and AI accelerator of Hong Kong, and Thailand’s National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), also the management of Thailand Science Park, will enhance collaboration in innovation and technology between Hong Kong and Thailand.

In a release on Tuesday, Cybersport said it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the NSTDA for the collaboration. The agreement builds on initial cooperation established in 2024 and sets out a framework to support joint initiatives in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), smart city solutions, and digital technologies.

It also facilitates market access for start-ups from both regions through ecosystem support, soft-landing programs, and cross-market collaboration, alongside promoting knowledge exchange and industry engagement. The agreement can boost cooperation between the Hong Kong and Thai innovation ecosystems and support the growth of technology companies in both regions.

Under the MoU, both parties will support recommended start-ups in exploring market opportunities, facilitate connections with industry and research partners, and encourage participation in incubation programs and joint activities. The agreement also includes plans to organize seminars, forums, and networking events, as well as to explore pilot projects and technology demonstrations with industry partners.

According to NSTDA, the partnership can establish mechanisms to help start-ups expand internationally, including support for market entry, industry partnerships, and pilot or proof-of-concept projects.

NSTDA oversees Thailand Science Park, established in 2002 as the country’s first and largest science and technology park. As part of the collaboration, Thailand Science Park will promote its “TSP Scale X Landing Program” to support international start-ups entering the Thai market by providing access to partner networks and research infrastructure.
