Thailand's Institute of International Trade and Development (ITD) convened academic networks from 8 ASEAN nations to analyse regional economic impacts of green and digital transition. Multiple countries propose deepening ties with Thailand across EV supply chains (Indonesia linking nickel to auto assembly), semiconductors (Philippines), halal food systems (Brunei), smart agriculture, clean energy, digital trade, and low-carbon manufacturing. Thailand is positioned as a critical supply-chain connector and hub for ASEAN's next-generation economic integration, with concrete collaboration frameworks emerging in electrification, green industry standards, and regional payment systems.
