BOI partners with Airbus to establish aviation software hub in Bangkok, supporting Thailand's goal to become a global tech hub
The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) has announced a major partnership with Airbus, the world's leading aircraft manufacturer, to expand its technology business base in Thailand. Bangkok has been selected as the operational hub for the "Skywise" platform to serve customers across the Asia region.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Thailand's aviation industry, as Airbus has decided to use Thailand as its sole software testing base for products serving global customers. This reflects confidence in the potential of Thailand's highly skilled IT and engineering workforce.
The Skywise platform is a big data analytics system that helps improve aircraft maintenance efficiency and flight management. The fact that a global company has chosen Thailand as a software development base will facilitate the transfer of advanced technology to Thai professionals and create more employment opportunities in the digital sector.
Furthermore, the establishment of this hub in Bangkok aligns with the government's policy to drive Thailand toward becoming the region's digital economy hub. This is expected to attract more investment from other leading technology companies to set up production and research bases in Thailand in the future.
In summary, this partnership between the BOI and Airbus not only elevates Thailand's aviation industry but also serves as proof that Thailand possesses the infrastructure and personnel fully prepared to support the growth of the global technology industry.
