By harnessing the power of digital technologies, and building out and renewing transport networks and systems, the government is making an unprecedented acceleration in making Thailand a hub for connectivity.
To drive greater public infrastructure investment and increase investor confidence, the government has also rolled out its Transport Infrastructure Investment Plan, which is linked to the 20-year National Strategy and the 12th National Economic and Social Development Plan, and emphasizes transport modality shifts, increased connectivity, and enhanced mobility.
The Thai government is committed to innovating Thailand’s transport sector, partnering with various stakeholders including manufacturers and connectivity providers, as they work to solve challenges in urbanization, sustainability, security, global competitiveness, and economic development.
