BOI accelerates high-tech investment attraction, aiming to expand Data Center business base in Thailand
The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) is moving forward with policies to attract investment in high-tech industries to Thailand, focusing on selecting projects with high economic value to create sustainable long-term growth for the country.
Latest data indicates that there are currently 1,184 legal entities registered in Thailand operating businesses related to Data Centers. Of this total, 909 companies are 100% Thai-owned, accounting for approximately 76.77% of all companies in this sector.
Supporting investment in the Data Center sector is considered a key government strategy, as it serves as essential infrastructure for digital economic development. This will help support the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and big data processing, which are expanding rapidly across the region.
Furthermore, the BOI is focused on enhancing Thailand's competitiveness to become an ASEAN technology hub by increasing incentives for foreign investors who bring advanced technology to transfer to Thai personnel, thereby building a robust business ecosystem.
These operations reflect the government's efforts to transform Thailand's economic structure toward a fully digital era, with the expectation that these investments will help create high-skilled jobs and add value to the Thai economy in the future.
