Highlighting His Majesty's innovations

       The "Creative King" project of the Commerce Ministry will bring together all of His Majesty the King's innovative ideas and works on culture, music and inventions.
       "We hope that the launch of the creative King project will inspire Thais to concentrate more on creative jobs," Sanya Sathiraboost, adviser to the deputy commerce minster, said yesterday.
       The National Creative Economy Policy Committee, chaired by the prime minister, also approved Bt1 billion as a primary budget for "Creative Economy" activities that are scheduled to kick off next year.
       The Creative King project will officially unveil the government's "Creative Economy Creative Thailand" policy.
       So far, 181 projects worth Bt74.39 billion have applied for funding to the committee.
       Of the total, 68 projects with a total budget of Bt23 billion have met the projects' requirements.
       These proposals will be forwarded to a screening committee for budget allocation under the government's second economic stimulus package.
       The government is setting up the Thailand Creatie Economy Agency to support all participants and government agencies in moving towards a Creative Thailand.
