The Board of Investment (BOI) is coordinating with four state agencies (NESDC, GPSC, Department of Industrial Works, and NSTDA) to position Eastern Thailand as a high-tech investment hub. From 2023 to mid-2026, the region received 4,566 investment promotion applications worth 2.6 trillion baht—half of Thailand's national total. BOI targets six priority sectors: biotech/green industry, electric vehicles, semiconductors/advanced electronics, digital/AI, automation/robotics, and international business services. The strategy aims to attract quality, environmentally-friendly investments while developing infrastructure, skilled workforce, and high-value supply chains in the region.
