Background

Established the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization): CEA with the mission to promote the Creative Economy as the driving force to a balanced and sustainable economy.

OKMD undertook a restructure of its specialized agencies. The Executive Board of Directors resolved to dissolve Institute for Gifted and Innovative Learning. The Board also mandated that the Center of Excellence in Bioscience of Thailand and the Center for Moral Development be established as independent public organizations in accordance with the Royal Decree to establish the Center of Excellence in Bioscience (Public Organization) dated 28 May 2011 and the Royal Decree to Establish the Center for Moral Development (Public Organization). The decision left OKMD with 3 agencies: Thai Knowledge Park (TK park), Thailand Creative & Design Center (TCDC) and National Discovery Museum Institute (NDMI).

The Executive Board rescinded the merger between Thailand Creative & Design Center and National Discovery Museum Institute. They reverted to 2 agencies as originally established.

The OKMD Executive Board of Directors resolved to merge 4 agencies into 2 agencies. National Center for the Gifted and Science of Learning Institute were merged into Institute for Gifted and Innovative Learning. National Discovery Museum Institute and Thailand Creative & Design Center became Learning and Creative Institute.

TCDC’s opening ceremony was held on 14 November 2005 on the 6 floor of The Emporium Shopping Complex. TCDC has serviced the public since 15 November 2005.
