Group, a cross-border scale-up studio based in Thailand and Singapore, and the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (TISTR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on May 4, 2026. The agreement establishes a partnership for the commercialization and scale-up of TISTR's portfolio of research-stage ventures and licensable technologies.
Under the MOU, Propella Group will apply its 9P Scale-Up Framework to TISTR's pipeline. This includes systematic venture screening, preparation for investor readiness, design of go-to-market strategies, and access to cross-border capital.
The collaboration focuses on priority sectors such as health and wellness, cleantech and sustainability, and food and agritech. These areas align with Thailand's research strengths and global investment interests. The partnership adopts a five-phase engagement model consisting of Discover, Diagnose, Execute, Close, and Review and Grow.
This model is designed to be repeatable across TISTR's technology verticals and adaptable to each technology's commercialization readiness, without relying on fixed cohort structures.
