DIPROM Launches 'DIPROM RISE' to Boost Thai Entrepreneurs

From September 18 to 20, 2026, the Department of Industrial Promotion (DIPROM) held the 'DIPROM RISE: Discover Potential. Rising Together' event at Star Hall, Siam Paragon. The initiative showcased products from 27 selected entrepreneurs from across Thailand, providing them with a platform to network and access broader market opportunities.

This event aligns with the agency's 2026 'DIPROM FLEXi' policy, which aims to provide flexible, localized support to businesses to help them overcome product development and market access barriers. The initiative is part of a broader industrial development project linked to special economic corridors, which has been allocated a budget of 22 million baht. The project aims to support 800 individuals and 90 businesses in total.

For residents and visitors, this event highlights ongoing government efforts to stimulate regional economies and promote local craftsmanship. While the event at Siam Paragon has concluded, the broader 'DIPROM FLEXi' program continues to operate across various regions. It remains to be confirmed how many additional regional events will be held under this specific budget and what long-term impact these individual entrepreneurs will have on the national market. Those interested in local Thai products may find more opportunities to engage with these businesses as the department continues its regional development activities.
