 * **Stellar DC Co., Ltd.:** A single project totaling USD 0.3 billion (THB 8.1

   USD 0.2 billion (THB 6.3 billion) in a data hosting project, with facilities

These approvals build upon a strong foundation from the previous year, as the BOI
received a cumulative total of 36 data center projects in 2025, representing an 
investment value exceeding USD 23.1 billion (THB 728 billion). These facilities 
are distributed across key provinces including Bangkok, Chachoengsao, Chonburi, 
Pathum Thani, Rayong, and Samut Prakan.

The expected benefits from these data center projects are multifaceted:

 * **Job Creation:** They are anticipated to generate numerous highly skilled jobs
   for Thai professionals in critical technology sectors.
 * **Sustainability:** The sector’s focus on high-efficiency “Green Data Centers”
   aligns with global sustainability trends and Thailand’s commitment to responsible
   development.
 * **Economic Ecosystem:** These widespread investments will foster a robust domestic
   supply chain, encompassing infrastructure providers, hardware manufacturers, 
   facility management services, and a thriving ecosystem of online businesses across
   e-commerce, fintech, and AI.
 * **Digital Sovereignty:** Expanding domestic data center capabilities will ensure
   faster data access (low latency), bolster cybersecurity, and strengthen data 
   sovereignty, making Thailand an even more attractive destination for global digital
   players and solidifying its role as a true Digital Innovation Hub for ASEAN.

The newly approved data center projects are designed to facilitate Thailand’s regional
leadership as a ‘Digital Innovation Hub in ASEAN’ through several key avenues beyond
simply increasing computational capacity. These strategic investments, totaling 
over USD 3.1 billion, are deemed crucial for accelerating Thailand’s digital transformation
and enabling businesses to innovate and prosper both domestically and across the
region.
