Bangkok, Thailand – October 8, 2025 – The Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) has officially announced the upcoming Thailand Space Expo 2025 (TSX 2025), a landmark event poised to be the largest and most comprehensive space technology exhibition in Southeast Asia. Scheduled from October 16-18, 2025, at the prestigious TRUE ICON HALL, ICONSIAM in Bangkok, TSX 2025 aims to unite a global assembly of space experts, technology providers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts. The expo is designed to be a pivotal platform for fostering collaboration, driving innovation, and accelerating the growth of the space economy across the region.
A Hub for Regional and Global Collaboration
TSX 2025 is more than just an exhibition; it is envisioned as a critical nexus for the global space community. The event will feature an extensive exhibition with over 60 booths showcasing cutting-edge space technology from both startups and established international partners, spread across 12 themed zones. These zones will cover diverse sectors including satellite technology, space exploration, frontier technologies, digital solutions, and agriculture. Beyond the exhibits, the expo will host a dynamic program with approximately 150 leading speakers, more than 30 on-stage sessions, and over 20 workshops, providing invaluable insights into the latest developments and future trends in space science and technology. This comprehensive agenda ensures that TSX 2025 will be a trending topic for anyone involved or interested in the space sector.
Driving Thailand’s Space Ambitions
The launch of TSX 2025 aligns with Thailand’s broader national strategy to become a significant player in the global space arena. The Thai government, through GISTDA, has been actively promoting the development and utilization of space activities for prosperity, security, and sustainability. This includes implementing a national space master plan for 2023-2037, which focuses on enhancing space security, promoting the space economy, and advancing space innovation through strategies covering economic development, infrastructure management, and human capacity building. GISTDA itself has a history of spearheading Thailand’s space endeavors, including the development and launch of the THEOS and THEOS-2 earth observation satellites, which provide crucial data for environmental monitoring, urban planning, and resource management. The expo serves as a testament to these ambitions, highlighting Thailand’s growing role and capabilities in space technology.
Unlocking the Potential of the Space Economy
Southeast Asia is experiencing a significant surge in space-related activities, with investments and innovation accelerating rapidly. A Deloitte report estimates that increased adoption of Earth Observation (EO) data alone could contribute an additional $100 billion to Southeast Asia’s GDP cumulatively from 2023 to 2030. TSX 2025 is strategically positioned to capitalize on this growth, offering unparalleled opportunities for networking, partnership, and business development. The event is designed to benefit a wide array of participants. Industry professionals, researchers, and startups can forge partnerships and seek funding, while students and young professionals can explore career paths in the burgeoning space sector. The general public will also have the chance to witness firsthand the cutting-edge of space technology and be inspired.
A Global Spotlight on Innovation
Invitations have been extended to international organizations from countries including the United States, China, and India, underscoring the event’s global reach and importance. TSX 2025 is set to be a hyped event, drawing attention to the innovations and collaborations that will shape the future of the space industry. By facilitating knowledge exchange and networking on a scale comparable to global events like the International Astronautical Congress (IAC), TSX 2025 provides a vital regional platform, making advanced space discussions and opportunities locally accessible. The expo promises to be a top news item for the space sector, showcasing how space-based technologies contribute to economic growth and innovation, and solidifying Thailand’s position as a leader in Asia’s new space movement.
The Thailand Space Expo 2025 is not just an event; it is a declaration of intent, signalling Thailand’s commitment to advancing its space capabilities and fostering a vibrant, collaborative space ecosystem for the benefit of the nation and the wider region. This news is already creating a buzz, making TSX 2025 a must-attend for anyone looking to be part of the future of space exploration and utilization.
