Thailand Launches “Quantum Club Thailand” at True Digital Park to Build ASEAN Quantum Hub

Thailand Launches “Quantum Club Thailand” at True Digital Park to Build ASEAN Quantum Hub Thailand’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI), industrial conglomerate Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group, telecommunications provider True Corporation, Arise Ventures Group, the Quantum Technology Research Initiative Consortium (QTRic), and U.S.-based quantum software platform provider qBraid have officially launched Quantum Club Thailand. Headquartered at True Digital Park on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok, the national collaboration hub aims to establish Thailand as a regional leader in quantum technology and accelerate industrial adoption across Southeast Asia. The initiative establishes four strategic missions—human capital development, applied research, industrial adoption, and commercial innovation. To execute these goals, the hub is rolling out three initial flagship programs: Quantum Academy Thailand, Quantum Industry Lab, and the Quantum Innovation Challenge. Through its software partnership with qBraid, Thai academic researchers, enterprise teams, and startups gain cloud-based access to more than 26 international quantum hardware systems spanning various modality architectures.

MHESI Minister Yodchanan Wongsawat framed quantum computing—alongside nuclear energy and space exploration—as a core technological pillar required to power next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-domain data processing. Capitalizing on Thailand’s academic research base in physics, chemistry, and semiconductor photonics, national efforts are focusing on optical quantum computing architectures. Policy alignment is coordinated across 10 government ministries through the national Quantum Policy Committee, while QTRic oversees a domestic network of over 120 researchers and 80 technology prototypes across 19 partner institutions. By embedding quantum software workflows into existing industry clusters at True Digital Park—such as biotechnology, food technology, digital health, and space economy hubs—CP Group and True Corporation plan to enable local enterprises to develop and test quantum-hybrid applications domestically before scaling them across broader Asian markets.
