EECO Launches Sustainability Expo 2026 in Rayong
The Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO) has inaugurated the 'EEC Sustainability Expo 2026' at Central Rayong, focusing on integrating local communities with business sectors.
On September 13, 2026, the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO) officially opened the 'EEC Sustainability Expo 2026' at the Central Rayong shopping center. According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the event is centered around the theme 'EEC Connect to Sustainability,' aiming to bridge the gap between local community potential and the business sector.
Dr. Chula Sukmanop, Secretary-General of the EECO, presided over the opening ceremony. He emphasized that the development of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) extends beyond large-scale industrial and technological infrastructure. Instead, the initiative seeks to balance economic growth with social and environmental responsibility to improve the quality of life for local residents. The 'Connect' concept is designed to showcase local wisdom, products, and services to investors while simultaneously creating economic opportunities for the surrounding communities.
For residents and travelers in the Rayong area, this expo highlights the region's ongoing efforts to foster sustainable development. It serves as a platform for understanding how the EEC plans to integrate local livelihoods into its broader economic framework. While the event underscores a commitment to a three-dimensional development approach—social, environmental, and economic—the long-term effectiveness of these connections in creating tangible, sustainable income for local communities remains to be seen as the project progresses.
