Capacity development activities for agricultural startups that apply artificial intelligence technology (AgTech AI)

The activity nurtures university students studying at undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels, as well as university alumni and researchers in both the public and private sectors to prepare them to become entrepreneurs of agricultural startups with the skills and knowledge of artificial intelligence technology and the ability to further develop technology into innovative technology businesses.   This has led to the transition of the agricultural sector to precision farming to increase production efficiency, reduce costs and increase income, which is in line with the government's Agricultural Policy 4.0 and the government's bioeconomic-circular economy-green economy (BCG Model).
