Thailand is deepening its economic engagement with Japan through a major investment promotion mission in Tokyo, aimed at reinforcing investor confidence and positioning the country as a regional hub for advanced industries. A high-level investment forum attracted more than 400 Japanese executives, reflecting Japan’s longstanding role as Thailand’s top investor. The forum highlighted national policies, incentives, and new opportunities in next-generation sectors such as electric vehicles, semiconductors, and smart electronics.
Discussions during the mission focused on enhancing industrial competitiveness, expanding cooperation in advanced technologies, and supporting the transition toward clean and high-efficiency energy systems. The Thai delegation also met with major Japanese automakers to exchange views on the shift toward electric mobility, while emphasizing the government’s commitment to supporting a full -spectrum EV ecosystem. Meetings were also held with financial institutions and semiconductor companies to present Thailand’s infrastructure readiness and talent development efforts that align with global manufacturing needs.
Japan’s investment momentum in Thailand remains strong. Over the past five years, nearly 1,500 Japanese projects valued at more than 420 billion baht have sought investment promotion. In the first nine months of the latest year alone, investment value from Japan more than doubled, driven by growth in electronics, automotive, chemicals, and high-tech manufacturing. Thailand expects the mission to further strengthen its position as a strategic base for innovation and production, while attracting both large corporations and Japanese SMEs seeking expansion opportunities in the region
