GISTDA pushes Thailand toward becoming a space hub, attracting investors to co-develop a spaceport
The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) hosted the Thailand Spaceport Investor Day 2026 to present business opportunities and attract interest from major technology companies and the financial sector, both domestically and internationally, to collaborate on the project to build a spaceport in Thailand.
The main goal of this event is to build investor confidence by emphasizing Thailand's potential to become a new space hub for the Southeast Asian region, which will help promote the space economy and create new innovations for the country in the future.
During the event, discussions were held on practical investment approaches and the development of necessary infrastructure to support satellite launches and space transportation. GISTDA is confident that cooperation from the private sector and financial institutions will be the key to making this project a reality and ensuring its sustainability.
The Thai spaceport project will not only elevate the country's technology but also create jobs and new skills for the Thai workforce in the space industry, which is a rapidly growing industry of the future worldwide.
In summary, driving this project forward is considered a significant step for Thailand in fully entering the space economy era. If successful, this project will have a positive impact on economic development and enhance Thailand's reputation on the global stage.
