Abstract: There is a clear implication of conceptualising the problems in managing innovations that firms which have limited finance may not be able to invest in research and development (R&D) activities. As a result, there is a growing search for capital among entrepreneurial ventures. This paper reviews the financial system of financing innovations in Thailand. The study draws on successful implementation of venture capital (VC) funding mechanisms of Technologie-Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft (tbg) in Germany and OSEO Anvar in France for the application to the case of Thailand. The paper seeks to identify and model the policy measures that would assist the development of venture capital industry in Thailand. The paper argues that the Thai Government should take up more risky role to draw venture capital investment to the economy.
