The National Electronics and Computer Technology Center, of NECTEC , was founded on 16th September 1986 as a project under the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Environment (MOSTE). On December 30th 1991, NECTEC underwent a transition from being a non statutory agency to become a specialised national center under a new statutory body following enactment of the 1991 Science and Technology Development Act. The new institution, the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), was formed by amalgamation of the three national center projects, i.e., the National Center on Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (NCGEB), the National Center on Metals and Material Technology (MTEC), and the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) with the project on Science and Technology Development (under the Science and Technology Development Board-STDB) NSTDA is a publicly-funded semi-autonomous agency. It has its own governing board and policies are directed by the National Science and Technology Development Board. Chaired by the Minister for Science, Technology and Environment, the Board is composed of equal number of representatives from both government and private sectors. NECTEC is also managed in the similar manner, however, the NECTEC Board is chaired by the Director of NSTDA.
