In evolving the traditional economic structure into “Value-Based Economy” or “Innovation-driven Economy”, Thailand has marked five new industries or New S-curves to drive future economic trends including Robotics, Aviation and Logistics, Biofuels & Biochemicals, Digital, and Medical Hub.
As part of the Thailand 4.0 initiative, Thailand aims to enhance its healthcare infrastructure and become the next Asia Pacific Medical Hub by 2025. Achieving the aspired-to top spot will require continuous technological development in Telehealth, Smart Medical and Devices Robotics which rely on the advancement in 5G technology and other relevant technologies including AI and big data, which can be used to support data analytics and medical services. These technologies are catalysts that will drive Thailand to reach its goal of being the next Asia Pacific Medical Hub faster than previously planned.
