iTAP facilitates the process of searching for, and acquiring, appropriate technology. iTAP provides Thai SMEs with the opportunity to obtain first-hand information on technological advancements and innovations in today’s world. It also provides SMEs with visions of tomorrow for their future technological and business development. This is done by arranging overseas technology trips and organizing in-bound and out-bound matchmaking events. These activities offer SMEs the opportunity to find new and appropriate technology and to establish technological and business partnerships with foreign companies. The trips normally involve visiting sources of technology in particular fields, such as research organizations, companies and production plants, meeting with potential partners according to pre-arranged schedules, and visiting industrial trade fairs to obtain the latest technology information and market trends. iTAP can also contribute towards the cost of overseas travel for eligible SMEs.
