Welcome Note – The 2nd Robotics Engineers Forum in Bangkok

In August 2017, the cabinet of the Royal Thai Government approved the plan for incentive packages for industry in Thailand to invest in using robotics and automation towards the higher industrial productivity. Thai Robotics Cluster was established as an infrastructure for boosting the 10 New S-Curves in Eastern Economics Corridor (EEC). The 2nd Robotics Engineers Forum is an important activity, complimenting such robotics cluster.

I am very pleased to welcome all participants to the 2nd Robotics Engineers Forum. We are in a process of formulating a consortium among Japanese companies and part manufacturers in Japan and Thailand and other oversea companies. This is to ensure that all industries in Thailand would be ready for technology transfer through such incentive packages. The details shall be presented at the forum.

"The 2nd Robotics Engineers Forum in Bangkok" is organized by Institute of Field Robotics (FIBO), King Mongkut's University of Technology (Thailand), Thai Robotics Society, and Impress Corporation (Japan). The forum focuses on promoting human relations, technological exchange, business matching, and incubating future projects between Thailand and overseas countries.

I hope that this forum will be informative for audiences. I would like to thank Dr.Supachai Vongbunyong and Mr.Toshiro Nishihara ,Impress Corporation, for their hardworking in organizing this meaningful forum.
