The management of private and public sector the the sponsor of FTI Expo 2025 on your case and respected members of the media on shows the potential great potential of the industry. It is the largest event never hosted the first FTI Expo was hosted in 2022 in Chiang Mai province at that time the world facing COVID-19 pandemic and it disrupted the activities for 2 years all over 2 years. So on behalf of the Federation of Thai Industries, I think that we need an event to announce to the world that Thailand is now open and the first event was a big challenge but it was a great success as well. We will come a lot of participants and I would like to thank all sponsors and industries a lot of Industries in the first opening of Thailand then the world faced a lot of challenges, for example, the or political issues, trademark, the technology call "climate change". These things have disrupted all the time and the Thai entrepreneurs or Thai business people needs to on to those . This is the second event which is FTI Expo 2025 the objective of this event is to the Readiness of Thai Industries to go forward uh to enhance the competitiveness what should we do. So we can enter or we can provide the most needed products to the world so that's our mission FTI to a need 25 under the theme of empowering Thai industry elevating Thailand's future. This is clear that the industrial sector is critical or crucial to GDP and economic driving. We take part in but we can we Face a lot of challenges and competitions it really disrupted a lot of things, so you have to adjust or adapt ourself and we have to work together that's we came up with 1 FTI consisting of 1 Vision 1 team and 1 goal. We need to collaborate with our sectors and 47 industrial groups, 76 provincial industry councils, then we have a clear direction. FTI has classify or divided the industry into 2 parts the first 1. is first industry which has been with in Thailand for 50 years after Thailand has transformed from agricultural country to Industrial country, but at that time, it was the industry for invested by foreigners or foreign corporate then we moved to that supply chain and we've become OEM right now the world has and technologies have changed rapidly, so many products are not welcome or are outdated. That's why this Industries are . that's why we came up with the measure to support this group and and to enhance their competitiveness focal policy the first goal is and AI. So this one will enhance the competitiveness of the small size entrepreneurs I think the government supported them and and focused on this aspect. And the second goal is GO Innovation we are not a big country we are not the we cannot uh produced the cheapest products, but we need the the Innovation to differentiate ourself and add value. That's why if the a will established the innovation committee now and welcoming the partners from across the world to drive forward Thai economy for example biotech and how computing including BCG. So we will establish the committee and I would like to take this opportunity to declare this idea. The third goal is Go Green, and we need to go forward the sustainability or we have to save the environment SME needs to and this concept so they can say competitiveness and take and become and gain Advantage. The last one is for for Global SME need to seek the market across the world the manufacturing sector must enter the supply chain of new Industries and they need to understand the new standard, for example, TV or new Industries. So what I mentioned earlier is the measure to drive forward SME and traditional industry, so they can go forward and we also have free features or future Industries. The first one is called new S-curve or the industry of the future right now the government has the determined, has specified this, for example, EV clean energy robotic and automation you might have seen it before when you enter this room and the wall will be full of automation this includes the logistic and Aviation. I think you have seen the passenger drone produced by Thai company and we will scale it up so it can be another new industry of Thailand ,distinguished guests, the prime minister, this event will not be able to succeed without the collaboration from all sectors. And today in front of all the esteemed guest today , I'm confident that Thailand can move forward with the collaboration between private and public sector, including education sector. This will help Thailand enhance the competitiveness a global platform. We can attract the FTI foreign direct investment just like last year. And it proved that we have come to the right direction but there are many ways that we need to do to unlock there are many things, for example that may not facilitate the business conduct and we have to lay out the road map AI is critical mechanism the road map for AI together with the government. This will be the future road map of ours, so the ambassadors who join us today have manythe partners, sponsors, ambassadors who visit us today. And we welcome the representative from 40 countries and Thailand is ready to show our great potential we are ready to attract the FDI we are ready to be the production base of the future products. We are also ready to enhance the competitiveness of SMEs under our policy of made in Thailand. The Thai products now meet the global standard but most importantly. We need to support by taking it seriously and then Thailand can make it and lastly. I would like to thank all of you once again.

I saw so many booths and even the the the size of the booths but really show the uh these are the main power that drive Thailand economy and as the uh tap as and have said that industry sector contribute to 1/3 of the national GDP and private sectors are the one who in West to manufacture to develop the Nations capacity in many areas as and of course the government ready to support in Thailand's Industries and to show the world that so for this post-covid era. We back with our full potential to be the of a Manufacturing and also many other area and as the chair person have mentioned. I believe that we have an ignite inspiration for many ones and I believe uh for everyone who Joy online uh uh so inspired I am fully confident that we will be able to scale up Thailand's Industries strongly from the policy that the government have announced at the cabinets that we are going to promote the economy and as well as uh other sectors focusing in driving growth of Thailand's economy or creating the ecosystem to support a development the investment of the infrastructure make a project and huge and development of human capital, so these are all contribute to developed our manufacturing sector  in order to add value to both the product and services will create opportunity and the first aid our country and for the product produce in Thailand and ensure that it made the global standards is something that we Revitalize Thailand's economy our SME sector is act contribute to 70% of Thailand's economic, so the government let's look forward to support and promote SME is the best we can. through different levels such as and the law or the botanic of some law  a relief some relax some law I believe all the ministers who are at attending the event today will uh further discuss on how to streamline as well as to the bottom neck some of regulations to increased Thailand's capability and to attract Investments and we are going to set up a dedicated team to work in this area. According to the theme of the event today, we are going to show you new policy which is the 4GO policy and after hearing about this actually it's very simple but very powerful. It's the framework that would really transform Thailand's Industries and open up the Thailand to the world. The first one is called digital and AI and to attract more investment such as the investment for data center  production which received a continuous support from the government and this is government will improve and strengthen digital infrastructure to show the leaders in the industries across the world that Thailand's really determined to develop our digital capacity. And we will also promote ease of doing business and in order to promote growth and and the use of AI in the country. We are in the process of developing regulation of AI development in their countries. Now we are in process the second one is go innovation because also aim to attract investment such as uh semiconductor like in October last year, we have established a semi conductor committee me the Prime Minister asked the chair of the committee we our goal is to accelerate and expedite all the work related to these industries as we all know that the world's changing rapidly and that's why I myself I will be uh is the shift of the committee to drive everything to happen rapidly. And right now, both public and private agencies are working uh closely okay to promote our industry. The third goal is uh recognized by by the world which is called the green energy, something that is recognized by everyone in the world go green energy comes with new technology. And of course  we have to recognize important of environment as well and is another he essential driver that will provide opportunity for the country and we also have to show commitment in um transition to Green energy. And this is to show the world that like even though we are focusing on developing AI, but we also recognize uh the important of environment and besides this, the government have established UT mechanism attracked and convinced uh private business to become more green in conducting uh their business 1 other measure is we Farmers to use low carbon rice. The first the 1 is called global is to expanding international trade and investment the Thai government have side type after FTA on 23rd January and the world economic forum and that was that this is the first FTA that we sign with the EU country members.
