Thailand Science Park (TSP), where BIOTEC main campus is located, is a government initiative to facilitate research and development of science and technology by the private sector. As the first science park in the country, it has dual objectives of incubating technology-based start-up companies as well as encouraging established local and international companies to invest in research and development in Thailand. TSP has been managed by NSTDA since its commencement in 2002. It is strategically located on 80 acres of land in Pathum Thani province, an industrial area on the suburban edge of Bangkok.

Fully-Integrated R&D Environment
Since NSTDA, along with four national research centers are located in TSP, private tenants can conveniently share expertise, information, equipments and facilities with these research institutions. Also located at TSP are Science and Technology Knowledge Services (STKS) - a provider of on-line information services and databases – and Technology Management Center (TMC) of NSTDA. In addition, TSP is ideally situated next to Thammasat University (TU) and Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) , which can be counted to continually provide highly-skilled workers.
