Thailand's BOI board approved a strategic overhaul of investment promotion, shifting focus from volume to "real value creation"—emphasizing tangible benefits like supply chain integration, high-skill job creation, and R&D transfer. Headline initiative: "BOI to IPO" program will offer enhanced incentives to help high-potential BOI-promoted companies go public on Thai exchanges (SET, mai, LiVEx), aiming to replicate successes like Delta and Cal-Comp. Also greenlit 17 new FastPass projects worth 120+ billion baht and 3 investment projects totaling 9.6 billion baht. Targets: position Thailand for high-income status within 12 years and boost investment to 30%+ of GDP.
