20 June — World Productivity Day

When people talk about productivity, they often think about producing faster. But in today’s electronics industry, the conversation is changing. Modern manufacturing is increasingly defined by 🔹 precision at microscopic scale 🔹 reducing defects and material waste 🔹 detecting problems before they happen 🔹 and producing smaller, more complex technologies with higher reliability

5 June | World Environment Day

AI, EVs, cloud infrastructure, and data centers are all driving demand for more processing power, higher performance, and more advanced electronic systems. At the same time, conversations around energy consumption, e-waste, and resource management are becoming harder to ignore.

Thailand is facing a challenge that may be even bigger than attracting new investments.

It is not only about factories. Not only about machines. It is about “people.” According to Thailand’s National Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Policy Council (NXPO), the country will require more than 1 million skilled workers in targeted industries over the next five years. Among the most critical sectors are Advanced Electronics and Semiconductors, which alone are expected to demand more than 200,000 professionals, ranging from technicians and engineers to system designers and high-level researchers.

Thailand is no longer just a manufacturing base for PCB production.

Today, Thai electronics innovation is beginning to move closer to the real world applications that shape industries and improve lives. One of the most inspiring examples comes from Smart Farming. Agricultural drones are not simply about flying. The true “brain” behind the system is the electronic control platform. The Main Controller V7-AG developed by SEGUMO demonstrates how Thai PCB and electronics capabilities can support real field operations, from flight control and sensor integration to precision spraying and stability under harsh outdoor environments.

The Future of EV Battery Technology at THECA

When people talk about electric vehicles, most attention goes to motors, charging stations, or autonomous driving. But the true heart of every EV is the battery, and today battery technology is entering a major turning point. The next generation of EV batteries is no longer focused only on charging speed or energy density. The industry is now moving toward two critical priorities: safety and sustainability.

May 22 – International Day for Biological Diversity

As the world reflects on biodiversity, there is a question the electronics industry cannot ignore How does our growth impact the planet? E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams globally and inside every device lies a PCB filled with valuable materials such as gold, silver, and copper that can be recovered and reused

When industries evolve faster than education… can we still produce the right talent in time?

The electronics world is no longer just about manufacturing. It is moving toward AI, EVs, advanced packaging, and increasingly complex intelligent systems. As Thailand is positioning itself as a global PCB and electronics hub, the most critical factor is no longer just technology. It is people who can work with that technology. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Panavee Pookaiyaudom, President of Mahanakorn University of Technology, reflects on the transformation shaping Thailand’s education landscape.

Advanced Packaging Strategy: Where Should Thailand Play — Not Compete?

In the race for Advanced Packaging, it’s tempting to believe Thailand should compete head-on with giants like TSMC or Intel. But industry insights from Prismark suggest a different reality: this is not a battlefield where direct competition creates advantage. Advanced packaging for GPU and CPU requires massive capital, deep technology integration, and a mature ecosystem spanning wafer fabrication to system-level assembly. The leaders have already built this advantage over decades.

AI Capex Is Rewiring the Global Economic Engine

Today’s U.S. economy is no longer driven primarily by household consumption, as it was in the past. The main source of momentum has shifted toward investment in information processing equipment, commonly referred to as AI Capex (AI Capital Expenditure). In simple terms, capital is flowing into the world’s “thinking machines”. These include data centers, AI servers, high-speed networking systems, and the digital infrastructure that underpins modern computation.
