Thailand's BOI, SET, and SEC have signed an MOU launching "BOI to IPO" — a framework to help BOI-promoted companies, especially in New Economy sectors, access capital markets for growth. The initiative aims to position Thailand as a long-term business hub, not just a manufacturing base. A major wave of 5 trillion baht in investment approvals since 2023 — spanning semiconductors, PCBs, AI supply chains, EVs, robotics, and biotech — is reaching the funding stage. New Economy IPO entrants will receive enhanced tax incentives: 3 extra years of full corporate income tax exemption or 5 additional years of 50% relief, plus upstream R&D integration via Skill Bridge training.
