CP and True Bring Frontier Tech to Market at Expo 2026

Frontier Tech spreads its wings into real business as CP Group and True Corporation unveil a new world of cutting-edge technology at CP Innovation Exposition 2026, paving Thailand's path to advance robotics, quantum, space, and neurotech.

Bangkok, October 22, 2026 — What will the future look like when Frontier Tech — advanced technologies once confined to research labs — now reveals its potential for real-world commercial use? CP Group and True Corporation, led by Ekaraj Panjavinin, Head of Research and Innovation at True Corporation, invited frontier tech partner leaders to a panel discussion on 'The New Frontier of Technology in Action' at CP Innovation Exposition 2026, showcasing progress in four key technologies: humanoid robots, low-earth orbit satellites, neural-controlled prosthetics, and quantum computing — covering future technology development directions, Thailand's opportunities to adopt technology in industry and services, and building talent, software, and intellectual property through collaboration with world-leading technology developers.

Humanoid robots move from factories to service businesses Kun Huang, Executive Vice President for Asia-Pacific and Middle East at Agibot, said Agibot is not just a robotics company but a Physical AI company developing three intelligence dimensions: movement, object manipulation, and interaction — enabling robots to operate in real environments and communicate with people. The company develops multiple robot forms, including full humanoids, wheeled versions, and quadrupeds, already deployed in electronics and automotive manufacturing, logistics systems, and the service sector. Agibot has expanded humanoid robot use in manufacturing, logistics, retail, and entertainment, and expects 2026 sales to quadruple or quintuple over the previous year. Over the next three years, Agibot plans to expand industrial applications and aims to work with Thai partners to drive robot adoption in manufacturing, healthcare, and services. Crucially, robot skills must match job characteristics — whether material handling, product sorting, or customer service — to create genuine practical deployment in Thailand.

Quantum: the new wave integrating AI and cloud to unlock opportunities for Thai organizations Quantum computing is one of three converging technology powerhouses alongside AI and hybrid cloud. Though quantum computing remains in early commercial development, Thailand is adapting to access the technology for research, experimentation, and expertise building. Anothai Wettayakorn, Managing Director of IBM Thailand, said IBM is advancing quantum and demonstrating Quantum Advantage — the ability to process certain problems that classical computers practically cannot. IBM has collaborated with the University of Chicago and opened its quantum systems to institutions worldwide; in Thailand, Chiang Mai University and Quantum Club Thailand are studying and developing quantum capabilities. The next milestone is the IBM Quantum Starling project, targeting fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2029. For Thai organizations, quantum system access opens opportunities for talent development and algorithm experimentation.
