Thailand poised to become Southeast Asia’s AI hub as global tech giants invest in the region.
The fact that many global tech companies are choosing Southeast Asia as their investment base reflects the rapid growth of the digital industry in the region. Thailand, in particular, has the potential to become a hub for AI and advanced technology in the future.
Previously, Thailand successfully attracted significant investments from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to build data centers and cloud infrastructure.
Nvidia’s entry, a leader in AI chip design, further emphasizes Thailand’s potential as a technology hub in Southeast Asia.
Bloomberg reported that Nvidia has also pledged to invest in developing AI infrastructure in Indonesia and Malaysia and is exploring investment opportunities in Vietnam.
Nvidia’s chips are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), and most of its AI servers are assembled by companies in Taiwan.
However, a spokesperson for Nvidia has not yet commented on the company’s investment plans in Thailand.
