I-EA-T strengthens investment readiness through faster approvals, modern infrastructure and clean energy

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutRech Newswire – 21 September 2026 – The Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (I-EA-T) is accelerating efforts to strengthen Thailand's industrial ecosystem and enhance its readiness for global investment.Under its "I-EA-T RAPID Forward" strategy, the Authority is working to remove regulatory barriers, shorten administrative processes, upgrade infrastructure and clean-energy systems, and deliver internationally benchmarked investor services. The initiative aims to improve industrial competitiveness and reinforce Thailand's position as a long-term manufacturing base for global industries.

Mr. Sumet Tangprasert, Governor of I-EA-T, said a key priority is to reduce the time between an investor's decision and the commencement of business operations while creating an ecosystem that supports sustainable long-term growth.

I-EA-T reports that Thailand has 84 industrial estates across 18 provinces, covering more than 216,000 rai, or approximately 34,560 hectares. The estates represent cumulative investment of around 13.43 trillion baht and support more than 1.09 million jobs.

"Today's investors are no longer simply looking for land on which to build factories. They require an ecosystem that allows them to invest and begin operations quickly, supported by reliable infrastructure that can preserve their competitiveness over the long term," Mr. Sumet said.

"I-EA-T is therefore evolving from an industrial estate developer into a strategic partner for investors under the concept of 'Accelerating Industry towards a Sustainable Future.'"

Faster Investment through Thailand FastPass

I-EA-T is supporting the Thailand FastPass program to help approved investment projects progress more quickly from licensing to commercial operations.

The program is being implemented alongside the Standard Code of Practice (SCOP), which allows eligible site-preparation activities to proceed under prescribed environmental requirements while an Environmental Impact Assessment report is being prepared. I-EA-T is also streamlining overlapping procedures and introducing self-certification to improve certainty and shorten project-development timelines.

As part of its immediate priorities, I-EA-T is pursuing five "Quick Wins":

  1. Upgrading smart-grid systems to improve power reliability and reduce energy costs
  2. Expanding the Total Solution Center Plus+ for investors
  3. Improving utility systems for downstream industries
  4. Developing Low Carbon Cities in industrial-estate areas
  5. Connecting industrial estates with global supply chains

Advancing Low-Carbon Industry

I-EA-T is among the initial public-sector participants in Thailand's Low Carbon Cities and Carbon Market Development Project, supported by the World Bank Group with total project financing of US$200 million.

The nationwide initiative links renewable-energy and energy-efficiency investments with carbon-market infrastructure. Beginning with I-EA-T and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, it will promote solar photovoltaic systems, energy-efficiency improvements and a scalable mechanism for generating and monetizing verified carbon credits.

The measures are expected to lower energy costs, reduce emissions across industrial supply chains and strengthen Thailand's competitiveness during the global transition to a low-carbon economy.

Smart Park Incentives for Future Industries

I-EA-T is also offering incentives at Smart Park Industrial Estate for New S-Curve industries and international companies seeking to diversify their manufacturing bases.

The package includes two-year waivers of land lease and facility-maintenance fees, subject to a minimum lease term of 10 years. Investors may provide a cash deposit or bank guarantee equivalent to one year's rent and must commence operations within three years of receiving permission to use the land.

The incentives are available until September 30, 2027.

"Thailand's future competitiveness will depend not on offering the lowest costs, but on an investment ecosystem that brings together energy, technology, innovation, digital infrastructure, utilities and environmental management," Mr. Sumet said.

"I-EA-T is committed to designing an industrial ecosystem that directly supports foreign investment and reinforces Thailand's position as a long-term investment and manufacturing base for global industries."

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 21 September 2026 - Phancy Group Co., Ltd. ("Phancy" or "the Group", stock code: 6682.HK), a leading full-stack enterprise-AI cloud services platform, ranked first overall in the latest 2026 China AI Computing Resource Management Platform Technology Capability Assessment, published by International Data Corporation ("IDC"), a global technology intelligence firm.

The assessment evaluated multiple leading AI computing resource management platform providers in China and noted Phancy's industry-leading technological maturity across heterogeneous accelerator compatibility and adaptation, large-scale cluster operations, and delivery in hybrid cloud environments. Drawing on its accumulated capabilities in heterogeneous computing resource management, fine-grained GPU virtualization and agent-oriented computing services, Phancy received full scores and outperformed the industry benchmark in four out of six evaluated dimensions[1].

According to the IDC report, as AI moves into large-scale deployment, the growing adoption of AI agents is reshaping cloud infrastructure. In the meantime, AI infrastructure is evolving beyond basic computing capacity to become a core part of the enterprise technology stack, supporting digital and intelligent transformation.

Dr. Dai Wenyuan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Phancy, said: "The AI industry is moving beyond the 'model race' and entering a new phase of large-scale deployment. For enterprises, the real challenge is no longer whether they can access large language models, but about how to translate agentic AI capabilities into sustained productivity while keeping costs under control and operations stable. IDC's assessment reflects the growing importance of unified management, flexible scheduling and fine-grained operations for heterogeneous computing resources. Phancy will continue to advance its capabilities in heterogeneous computing resource scheduling and agent infrastructure, helping more enterprises unlock the value of AI with greater efficiency, cost-effectiveness and reliability."

Five Core Capabilities Behind Phancy's Vendor-Neutral Unified Management Platform

At the core of Phancy's offering is vendor-neutral unified management software that supports large-scale training and high-concurrency inference for mainstream models across chips from over ten leading vendors[2]. Its core technological capabilities include:

  • Code-compatible multi-chip virtualization: Phancy supports the partitioning of a single AI accelerator across multiple workloads, enabling mainstream frameworks and inference engines, including PyTorch, TensorFlow, vLLM and SGLang, to run without changes to application code. Resource quotas help maintain stability when multiple workloads run concurrently.
  • Three-tier resource pools and intelligent workload scheduling: Phancy's platform provides three types of resource pools: dedicated, shared and overcommitted pool. Resources can be intelligently scheduled based on four dimensions (workload priority, hardware topology, real-time load and resource requirements), enabling large-scale training and high-concurrency inference workloads to run on the same infrastructure.
  • AI gateway and dual-track metering: The AI gateway provides unified management of model routing, API calls and audit activities. Usage is measured through both accelerator hours and token consumption, helping enterprises track costs and resource utilization from the perspectives of both resource consumption and model usage.
  • Agent-oriented computing services: Phancy's platform turns heterogeneous computing resources into standardized services that AI agents can call on demand. These services support partitioning, reuse and elastic scaling. Combined with intelligent routing through the AI gateway, this accommodates the frequent calls and fluctuating workloads associated with AI agents, while token quotas and circuit-breaking mechanisms also help enterprises manage usage risks and costs when predefined limits are exceeded.
  • Operations and maintenance for heterogeneous computing resources: Phancy's platform provides end-to-end observability spanning nodes, accelerators, workloads and model services. It supports fault isolation, workload rescheduling and private deployment in environments without public internet access, helping enterprises improve operational efficiency across complex heterogeneous computing environments.

The report highlighted a use case in which a Chinese policy bank significant improved resource utilization by using Phancy's three-tier resource pool architecture to manage computing resources across three data centers in two locations, while also enabling a smooth business migration.

Looking ahead, Phancy will continue to advance its AI computing resource management platform as AI infrastructure shifts from traditional "cloud + AI" architectures toward greater cloud-native, agent-oriented integration. The Group will continue to help enterprises manage computing resources more efficiently, deploy AI across a wider range of production environments, and turn AI into sustainable business productivity at scale.
