[Webinar] Powering Thailand’s AI Hub: SMRs for the EEC and Beyond

​‼️Please use your work email to sign up to get approved.

​Thailand stands at a critical inflection point. With over US$3.1 billion in data center investments approved by early 2026, the nation’s digital infrastructure is rapidly outstripping its power transmission capacity. While the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) is at the center of this boom, grid bottlenecks and the challenge of securing reliable firm power threaten to stall progress.

​This webinar moves beyond speculative ambition to examine the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) as a standardized energy product. We will analyze the 2026–2030 roadmap as a critical window for institutional mobilization—leveraging international partnerships and the Direct PPA Pilot Project to establish the regulatory, financial, and institutional foundations for deployment.

​Join experts from the data center industry, venture capital, academia, and nuclear policy as we explore pragmatic pathways toward resilient, high-density energy infrastructure for Thailand’s AI era.

​🎯 The Core Question

​To power Thailand’s AI ambitions, what collaborative financing, regulatory, and workforce frameworks will it take to deploy standardized SMRs and close the EEC’s power gap?

​📍 Discussion Themes

​I. Infrastructure & Demand: The AI Power Gap
II. Commercial Models: SMR Bankability
III. Policy, Workforce & Trust: The Collaborative Ecosystem

​Our Expert Panelists:
💰 Duc Pham | Principal, Earth Venture Capital
The financial architect. Mr. Duc will break down "Nuclear-as-a-Service" and how private capital can de-risk First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) SMR projects through innovative DPPA frameworks.
🔌 Bancha Yathip, Ph.D.| Energy Advisor & Founder, 89 Plus Energy
The bridge-builder. Dr. Bancha will tackle the "Timeline Mismatch"—aligning rapid 3-year data center builds with nuclear asset development cycles.
🔬 Dr. Kampanart Silva | Researcher, National Energy Technology Center (ENTEC)
The technical visionary. Dr. Kampanart provides the ground truth on factory-built standardization and the "Fast-Follower" strategy for local technical know-how.
⚖️ Mr. Somjait Sudprasert — Director of the SMR Regulatory Division, Office of Atoms for Peace Thailand (OAP)

​Detailing the 2026–2030 regulatory roadmap, safety frameworks, and licensing pathways essential for private-sector participation.
