The APEC Center for Technology Foresight was launched on 3rd February 1998, with the approval and generous support of the Royal Thai Government.  The office is in Bangkok, Thailand but it operates as a virtual Center, serving and involving all APEC member economies.   Its establishment follows a comprehensive feasibility study, initiated by Thailand.  The proposal for this study was endorsed at the first APEC Ministers Conference on Regional Science and Technology Cooperation in Beijing in 1995, and received  financial support following the tenth meeting of the Industrial Science and Technology Working Group of APEC in Jakarta 1996.  During the study, the concept of the center was developed by NSTDA with the help of international experts and an APEC Technology Foresight Symposium with over 100 participants from 16 different economies was held in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The feasibility study found widespread support for the establishment of the center, from APEC  economies and from other countries and generated many ideas for future activities and research projects.
