Today 11:04Key points summarised by AI
Thailand launches its inaugural national strategy for semiconductors and high-tech electronics, aiming to attract substantial foreign direct investment (FDI) and establish a 'Chip Made in Thailand' ecosystem.
The multi-phase roadmap sets ambitious targets, including 500 billion baht in FDI by 2030 and 2.5 trillion baht by 2050, projected to create over 230,000 jobs.
The strategy focuses on developing a complete semiconductor industrial chain, from design to high-level testing, with a focus on photonics, power semiconductors, and sensors.
A key component is the 'Siam Silica initiative' to develop 86,600 highly skilled personnel by 2030, ensuring a robust talent pipeline for the burgeoning industry.
