Thailand Shines at BOI Ignite Thailand 2025 Highlighting Its Strength as a Global Investment Destination

The Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation is accelerating the development of skilled personnel, especially in future industries such as semiconductors and advanced electronics. This includes research funding, special Sandbox and scholarship programs to produce talent in semiconductors, electronics, EVs, and AI, as well as scholarships for digital technology students, and a talent attraction program to bring in global experts. The goal is to produce more than 80,000 digital professionals through the national plan.

In response to increasing global demand for carbon neutrality, the government is improving the electricity grid, supplying clean energy to industrial estates via the Electricity Authority, and enabling third-party energy purchases to support the expansion of clean energy capacity. This will help Thailand become a hub for green industries and promote long-term investment.

To support digital investment, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society is working to improve data center infrastructure, implement the Cloud First policy to become a regional hub for cloud and data, support AI development, and provide tax benefits and designated zones to promote digital technology investment.

The government is pushing forward several infrastructure projects, including new electric railway lines (Purple Line and Southern Purple Line), high-speed and double-track railways connecting Bangkok to the South and Northeast, the Laem Chabang Port Phase 3 development, airport capacity expansion, and the Land Bridge project connecting the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.
