Over 140 geoinformatics scientists from universities, business communities, R&D institutes, and governmental agencies across the Kingdom of Thailand attended “The Netherlands – Thailand Space Technology Forum 2023” in Bangkok. The Forum opens up another frontier within space technology and geoinformatics science for resilient agriculture and food systems.
Guest speakers & Representatives from co-organizers, with the Dutch Ambassador & the President of KMITL
The Netherlands-Thailand Space Technology Forum 2023; Space Technology for Resilient Agriculture and Food System significantly underlines closer Thai – Dutch cooperation on the utilization of geospatial sciences and satellite technology to capitalize the innovation and sustainability in Dutch and Thai agriculture. The gathering of 140 esteemed geoinformatics scientists at the Forum employs their knowledge and expertise sharing for groundbreaking solutions to redefine the landscape of space technology and climate-smart agriculture for more sustainable food security. Thai – Dutch Space Technology Forum 2023 creates an inspiration for our Thai – Dutch collaborative efforts to push the boundaries of knowledge on geospatial science dedicated to the global challenges.

Geospatial science becomes more important in our daily life; planning our travels, weather forecast, and so on. Spatial information is essential for many sectors such as agriculture, urban planning, resource (forest, water, minerals) management and to design systems to mitigate the impact of climate change and disasters. The challenges of today's global e.g. rising temperatures, droughts, flooding, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, air pollution, etc. all happen simultaneously and their origin and consequences often have a geographic overlap. Geospatial sciences help us to understand better the complex relationships and also to find solutions for better decision-making.
The Netherlands – Thailand Space Technology Forum 2023 focuses on the contribution of space technology to a more resilient agriculture and food system. Geospatial experts have an important role to play in making this happen. The Netherlands is happy to start and continue the collaboration with Thailand to explore and implement new opportunities space technology offers to support resilient agriculture and food systems.
