Thailand’s 2025 Investment Vision: Driving Innovation & Global Competitiveness
Thailand is stepping up its efforts to become a leading global hub for high-tech industries with the 2025 Investment Promotion Strategy by the Board of Investment (BOI). This initiative prioritizes sustainable development, digital transformation, and supply chain expansion, ensuring the country remains a top choice for international investors.
The strategy focuses on five core sectors, including green industries, electric vehicles (EVs), semiconductors, digital technology, and international business centers. By offering corporate tax breaks, import duty exemptions, and non-tax benefits, the BOI aims to attract cutting-edge businesses and foreign direct investment.

The government is also driving initiatives in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and sustainable manufacturing, reinforcing its commitment to a future-ready economy.
With strategic incentives, sustainability-driven policies, and a focus on innovation, Thailand is well-positioned to strengthen its role as a regional and global investment powerhouse.
