This plan aims to transform the eastern seaboard into a high-value industrial and logistics hub. Covering the provinces of Chachoengsao, Chonburi, and Rayong. The EEC zone is strategically positioned as a gateway to ASEAN markets, with seamless connectivity to domestic and international supply chains. 

 

The strategy is meant to help the country achieve high-income growth through innovative, value-based industrial development in various fields such as automation and EV, smart electronics and robotics, aerospace and aviation, logistics and digital industries, biofuels and biochemicals, and medical technology and healthcare.
