The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), in collaboration with leading partner organisations, is preparing to host FTI EXPO 2025, the largest industrial innovation and technology exhibition of the year. The event will take place from 12–15 February 2025 at Hall 5–8, LG Floor, Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre. The expo will showcase a diverse range of products and services from various industries, expecting to attract 50,000 to 70,000 participants from both Thailand and abroad. The event aims to generate over 1 billion THB in business opportunities and create an economic circulation of over 5 billion THB during the event.
Mr Kriengkrai Thiennukul, President of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), stated that FTI is a private-sector organisation dedicated to strengthening and advancing Thailand's industrial sector to achieve international competitiveness while promoting a sustainable economy, society, and environment. To ensure Thailand’s sustainable development, FTI collaborates with the government to shape policies and strategic plans for national economic and industrial growth while offering recommendations to address ongoing economic challenges.
Between 2024 and 2026, FTI will continue to implement its ONE FTI policy (ONE Vision, ONE Team, ONE Goal), which fosters cooperation among 47 industrial groups, 76 provincial industrial councils, FTI-affiliated institutions, international agencies, and academic institutions. This collective effort aims to lay the foundation for driving Thailand’s industrial development while elevating SMEs into Smart SMEs through the 4GO Approach, which includes:
- GO Digital & AI: Enhancing SME efficiency, reducing costs, and improving business accuracy through digital and AI solutions.
- GO Innovation: Enabling SMEs to access more technology and innovation through the Innovation One Fund and various projects that support startups and SMEs in developing innovative products and adding value.
- GO Global: Supporting SMEs in producing and exporting products that meet international standards while expanding global market opportunities.
- GO Green: Aligning businesses with sustainable development concepts such as ESG principles (Environmental, Social, and Governance) to gain a competitive edge by promoting environmentally friendly products and services.
FTI EXPO 2025, organised by the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI), will showcase Thailand’s top industries, highlighting the progress and potential of the country’s industrial sector, which plays a crucial role in driving the nation’s economy. The event aims to promote trade and investment, expand market channels for Thai products, and foster connections with global markets. It also stimulates capital flow within the economy and builds confidence among both domestic and international investors.
- In addition to featuring innovations and technologies from leading entrepreneurs, the event will include expert-led seminars, offering valuable insights through panel discussions. These sessions provide Thai entrepreneurs with an opportunity to exchange knowledge and ideas to enhance and elevate their business standards.
A business matching zone will facilitate networking between entrepreneurs and suppliers, enabling trade negotiations and future collaboration opportunities.
“We expect this event to expand market networks for entrepreneurs, with an estimated attendance of no fewer than 70,000 participants,” said Mr Kriengkrai Thiennukul, President of the Federation of Thai Industries.
Mr Apichit Pasaprat, Vice Chairman of the FTI and Chairman of the FTI EXPO 2025 organising committee, emphasised the event’s objective to strengthen the domestic industrial sector, enhance Thai entrepreneurs’ competitiveness, and create effective market expansion opportunities.
