Government Initiatives Matter for Innovation in ASEAN
Concern is growing that some ASEAN member states (AMS) will see their growth in GDP
per capita stagnating at the upper middle-income level. Masahito Ambashi of the
Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA) argues that AMS need to enhance their innovation capability to assure a technology-driven sustainable future. Currently, many AMS face the risk of government policy failure. The author suggests the formation of a single body with unified authority and strong leadership under government control, to lead and coordinate innovation policies across various departments. This would enhance government initiatives for technological innovation in ASEAN.
