The workshop provided creative activities that encourage the participants to invent sustainable innovation management process for Thai society.
The participants included local government officials and local leaders from various provinces in the North of Thailand including Phayao province, Lampang province and Phrae province. They actively participated to this workshop so that they would develop their own leadership and capacity, as well as gain useful knowledge for supporting local innovations in their local areas.
