Thailand Accelerates Deep Tech Industry, Aiming to Build 'Siam Silica' to Attract Global Investors
Dr. Yodchanan Wongsawat, a technology expert, has proposed key guidelines for driving Thailand's new economy, emphasizing that the country must urgently and seriously build a foundation in science and technology to keep pace with global changes and build international competitiveness.
The core of this roadmap is to push for high-tech industries, known as Deep Tech, which require intensive research and development. A project to watch is the concept of building 'Siam Silica' as a central hub for the country's critical technology development, which will help elevate Thai industries to a higher level.
Beyond technology development, Dr. Yodchanan also places importance on developing Thai personnel with specialized expertise to support the future growth of this industry. Cultivating highly skilled people is considered a key factor that will enable Thailand to attract foreign investors and world-class experts to work together.
Currently, the project is welcoming investors and experts from around the world to collaborate in making this plan a reality. Coordinating cooperation between the public sector, the private sector, and international experts will be a vital mechanism that helps Thailand build a sustainable and stable new economy in the long term.
