The Board of Investment (BoI) is preparing to organise roadshows overseas, with Japan the first destination, as it aims to bolster foreign investment in five categories emphasising creativity and high technology.
The categories comprise electric vehicles (EVs), smart electronics, digital technology, bio-, circular and green (BCG) economic development projects and creative industries.
While BCG involves manufacturing of value-added products with no or minimal impact on the environment, creative industries make use of art and cultural power to create products and services.
