NSTDA Deputy Director Narong Sirilertworakul revealed that over 150 works were on display at the show, which allowed 15 minutes for each of the works' creators to present their accomplishments.
The event served as a forum for business negotiations, allowing innovations to hit the market sooner, he said, adding that participants that can secure a deal are required to pay a 30,000 THB facilitation fee, along with 2 percent of their sales total.
