A network of 30 universities across the country has succeeded in reducing the number of single-use plastic bags, utensils and cups by 41 million pieces so far this year, it was announced during the Sustainable University Network of Thailand Conference 2018 hosted by Thammasat University (TU) on October 25-26 at its Rangsit Campus.

The Science and Technology ministry will seek to change existing law to allow 100 per cent foreign ownership in tech start-up companies, said Minister Suvit Maesincee at  the Start-up Thailand Conference, adding that the change will also facilitate start-ups’ access to funding.
