World Bank launches major project for Thailand's future vision!

Bangkok, November 3, 2025 – In an exciting step for Thailand’s future, the World Bank launched the “Building Thailand’s Future Today” project on November 2, 2025. This project aims to collect opinions from all corners of Thai society to formulate a clear vision for the country's development. The initiative comes in view of the upcoming annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group, which will be held in Thailand in October 2026. Loud Thai Publica The World Bank's main report for 2026 will support the long-term development of the Thai economy and society.

This project will address five key industries: sustainable and health tourism, creative industries, agriculture and food - highlighting Thailand as the Cuisine of the World - high-tech manufacturing and digital services. To ensure that the voices of all sectors are reflected, public consultations are planned. So that citizens can actively participate, registrations to participate in the project are possible from November 1st to 20th, 2025.

Steps to get involved

From November to December 2025, various workshops to develop future scenarios will be held. The first phase will take place from November 26th to December 1st, followed by a second phase from December 2nd to 9th. These workshops bring together experts to review scenarios and create policy recommendations. These steps aim to generate a robust foresight report for each industry that identifies key changes and drivers.

In addition, participants will gain valuable insights and access to upcoming trends and have the opportunity to network with decision-makers and international experts. The expected results are promising: from future scenarios to needed skills for the Thai workforce to strategic policy proposals for the 2026 main report.

Importance for society

The project is more than a World Bank initiative; it is a call to help shape the future of Thailand. It will provide a platform for citizens to contribute their ideas and exert their influence on the nation's development. Although a building as we know it is associated with physical stability and protection, the concept of this project reflects the desire to build a lasting structure of vision and ideas to lead Thailand towards a prosperous future. The term “building” not only includes physical structures, but also symbolizes community and collaboration, as on Wikipedia can be read.

The coming months will be crucial in launching a new growth strategy for Thailand. In the face of change, it will be exciting to see what ideas and suggestions emerge from the population in order to set the course for a sustainable and dynamic future.
