*Thimphu, Bhutan –* As part of Bhutan’s “10X Journey,” a government‑led initiative aimed at accelerating economic growth, Druk Holding and Investments (DHI) announced a new strategy to strengthen the country’s innovation ecosystem. The plan focuses on fostering a science, technology and innovation (STI) driven future through collaboration with both national and international partners.
According to DHI, the comprehensive approach will target practical problem‑solving, skills development, applied research and the deployment of emerging technologies across a range of sectors.

The agency indicated that the initiative will be implemented through a series of joint ventures, research programs and entrepreneurship support mechanisms.
The announcement reflects a growing emphasis within Bhutan’s policy circles on building a robust STI ecosystem to drive sustainable development.
