Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas opened Thailand’s participation at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this week, leading “Team Thailand” in high-level discussions with global technology companies and representatives of the World Bank as part of a concerted effort to elevate the country’s profile on the international economic stage.

The delegation’s agenda underscores Thailand’s readiness to attract quality investment, deepen strategic partnerships and communicate clear economic direction during a period of governmental transition.

Mr Ekniti, speaking at key sessions including “New Pathways for ASEAN Growth and Productivity” and “What’s Ahead for the Global Economy,” emphasised Thailand’s economic resilience and strategic reforms designed to support foreign investment, infrastructure enhancement and human capital development.

His remarks aimed to reinforce investor confidence and position Thailand as a compelling destination for forward-looking capital in sectors such as biotechnology, digital technology and artificial intelligence.

During bilateral meetings, the Thai delegation engaged executives from major global technology groups and multilateral institutions, including the World Bank, to explore opportunities for collaboration that align with Thailand’s economic priorities.

Discussions focused on deepening cooperation in innovation, digital economy initiatives and sustainable investment, reflecting Thailand’s commitment to integrating advanced technologies within its national development framework.

Team Thailand’s presence at the forum also included senior government officials and leaders from key domestic corporations spanning energy, finance, technology and manufacturing.

The breadth of representation highlighted a cohesive public-private approach to expanding Thailand’s economic partnerships and attracting quality investment flows.

The delegation used the platform to highlight the country’s infrastructural readiness, regulatory reforms and incentives aimed at drawing global investors.

This Davos engagement forms part of Thailand’s broader strategy to assert its economic strengths and deepen ties with influential global partners amid shifting global economic dynamics.

The approach aligns with the government’s ongoing efforts to strengthen Thailand’s position in the regional and global economy and to foster sustainable long-term growth through strategic investment and innovation partnerships.
