On July 13, 2025, Thailand Science Park (TSP) announced the launch of the TSP Scale X Landing Program under the concept "Two Journeys. One Ecosystem." The program creates new support mechanisms that provide startups not only with funding access but also connect entrepreneurs with markets, industry sectors, research, and essential partner networks for growth.

The program supports both foreign startups entering Thai and ASEAN markets and Thai startups expanding globally, bringing together government agencies, industry, education, investors, and international partners on a unified platform.

Dr. Chularat Tanprasert, TSP director, stated that innovation no longer results from a single organization working in isolation but from collaboration between research, industry, investment, and entrepreneurs. He noted that the main challenge for startups is not technology development alone but accessing markets, customers, industry sectors, talent, and appropriate capital sources. While startups need funding, they equally need access to business networks, infrastructure, and partners that reduce growth time and risk.

Under this program, TSP functions as an Ecosystem Orchestrator, connecting all sectors' capabilities to work efficiently together and help startups grow faster while reducing costs and business expansion risks.

"Amid intense regional innovation competition, TSP believes the ability to connect people, technology, capital, and markets is crucial to determining Thailand's role as a destination for ASEAN's future technology companies and startups," Dr. Chularat said.

For foreign startups, the program uses a Land • Localise • Commercialise approach to reduce market entry costs and risks, from company establishment to government and industry connections, product adaptation, pilot projects, and commercial expansion. Thailand becomes the starting point for expanding into ASEAN markets for technology companies and startups worldwide.

Thai startups receive support connecting with customers, industry sectors, investors, laboratories, and international partner networks to address growth challenges such as customer shortages, lack of testing facilities, or limited foreign market expansion opportunities.

The program's strength lies in providing startups single-point access to Thailand's science, research, and innovation resources: researchers from five national research centers, laboratories, research equipment, prototype factories, testing and analytical services, and a network of over 120 technology companies within TSP. Additional support comes from domestic and international partners.

Police at Phahonyothin Station are preparing to file four charges against Nitpong Kattapong, known as Sergeant Natt, after he turned himself in to investigators. The charges stem from his unauthorized presence at the Ladprao beer bar fire scene that killed 32 people and injured many others. Natt, dressed in military uniform, provided information to reporters and Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul despite having no connection to the incident.

On July 15, Police Major Sarawut Butrdee, deputy inspector of Phahonyothin Station, revealed that Natt came to meet with investigators himself, likely aware of news reports about his involvement. He coordinated with station investigators to turn himself in.

Initial investigation findings indicate charges related to unauthorized radio communication use, impersonation of an official, and acting as an official without authorization. Police are also examining whether the body armor he wore at the scene was genuine. If confirmed as authentic, additional charges will be filed. Furthermore, Natt made statements about the case that did not match facts, leading to charges of spreading rumors and false information that caused public panic.

Natt reportedly knew he would face these four charges, which prompted his decision to meet with investigators. He has not yet given a full statement and requested additional time for detailed questioning. The case allows for bail application. Since Natt voluntarily appeared before investigators, he will be charged and released without requiring bail.
