Innovation - The Way for Thailand and Hungary
Mirroring his priorities, Ambassador Szilveszter Bus visited the National Innovation Agency of Thailand and met with its managing director, Dr. Pun-Arj Chairatana and his colleagues. The meeting served as a great opportunity to learn more about NIA’s work and goals and explore potential areas of cooperation in the area of innovation. Hungary is a country of innovation potential. The 2018 edition of WIPO’s Global Innovation Index evaluated Hungary as the 8th nation globally for Innovation Efficiency. Hungary spends 1.3 % of its GDP on research and development and the target for 2020 is 1.8%.
