That vision remains firmly in place today. The baby and maternity industry in 2025 is navigating a complex and uneven landscape, shaped by shifting demographics, evolving consumer expectations, and macroeconomic uncertainty. And yet, these very circumstances underline the importance of coming together—to share insights, build resilience, and identify new opportunities for growth across the region.” Mr. Pongpol Yodmuangcharoen, Secretary to the Minister of Industry, further emphasized: “The Ministry of Industry is proud to support Kind + Jugend ASEAN 2025, which serves as a vital platform for Thai SMEs to generate economic value, particularly in the rapidly growing global market for innovative maternity and baby products.

We boast world-class manufacturing facilities, skilled labor, and a new generation of designers with highly competitive ideas. The Thai Chamber of Commerce is honored to contribute to this initiative, as we strongly believe the ‘maternity and baby economy’ holds tremendous potential and is closely tied to the quality of life for Thai and ASEAN families. We are committed to helping our entrepreneurs elevate product standards to meet the needs of modern families and compete successfully on the global stage.” Dr. Duangdej Yuaikwarmdee, Director of the International Trade Show Industry Department, Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), remarked: “The MICE industry not only generates revenue from business travelers and event participants but also serves as a crucial instrument for fostering long-term international cooperation. Kind + Jugend ASEAN exemplifies how MICE can propel niche industries, such as maternity and baby products, onto the world stage. TCEB takes pride in playing a role in advancing events of this calibre and remains fully committed to supporting Thailand’s position as Asia’s premier destination for exhibitions and business matchmaking. We believe this event will spark new ideas, drive positive transformation, and promote sustainable growth in industries directly tied to the nation’s future.” This year’s edition also introduces three new experiential zones designed to allow attendees to interact directly with products—providing a valuable hands-on marketing experience for participating brands: Stroller Park — A realistic simulation track where visitors can test and compare the functionality and performance of strollers across various terrains in real-time.

She said: “MISIP offers a valuable platform that brings together governments, investors, and technical experts to accelerate the development of sustainable infrastructure. At Arup, we believe that the most resilient and future-ready solutions emerge when diverse stakeholders collaborate from the outset. MISIP enables this by fostering shared understanding, aligning priorities, and encouraging innovation across sectors and geographies. It’s a much-needed mechanism to help cities and communities transition toward more inclusive, low-carbon, and adaptive infrastructure systems.” There has been an increase in international cooperation in infrastructure construction, thanks in part to national policies such as the Belt and Road Initiative. Arup believes this forum, which has brought together experts and leaders from various sectors, will promote more project resource sharing and multidisciplinary collaboration.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 June 2025 – As the construction industry faces material shortages and climate-driven infrastructure needs, an unexpected resource is gaining importance: desert and sea sand. Once considered unsuitable, this abundant material is now reimagined through advanced technology as a high-performance input with transformative potential. In response to this opportunity, Thailand’s Doctor T Company Limited—a recognized leader in nanotechnology innovation across multiple industries—has announced a strategic expansion into advanced construction materials. The company’s latest breakthrough, DRT-Sand, is engineered for new growth opportunities across dry-sand regions worldwide, where harsh environmental conditions and infrastructure needs intersect. Designed for flexibility, DRT-Sand also works with ocean sand, expanding its relevance in coastal and dry regions. Amid a global shortage of high-quality river sand and rising construction demand, DRT-Sand introduces a proprietary nanofilm-coated desert sand substrate. This breakthrough transforms previously unusable sand into a water-resistant, dust-proof, and weather-tolerant material ideal for cement mixes or use with alternative binders. It addresses the escalating “sand crisis” while aligning with Doctor T’s commitment to sustainability. DRT-Sand offers a platform for scalable, sustainable infrastructure in desert regions. It enables the construction of roads, pathways, blocks, and water basins—without the environmental cost of river sand extraction or the logistical burden of imported cement. It can also be made into sand-colored paint for harsh environments. By leveraging local resources, DRT-Sand reduces construction costs and opens pathways for desert economies to emerge as global suppliers of high-value building materials. Doctor T is launching projects across MENA with local partners to demonstrate performance in water management, rural connectivity, and low-carbon civil works. “DRT-Sand exemplifies our vision to turn overlooked resources into strategic assets,” said Mr.Thiti Jirawatcharakorn, CEO of Doctor T. “We’re proud to lead with sustainable solutions that meet real-world needs.” For investors, this initiative blends ESG value with material innovation, creating a new revenue stream alongside Doctor T’s TPoxy and synthetic-wood (VoidWood) segments, which generate over 85% of revenue. Doctor T targets pilot deployments in late 2025, rollout in 2026, and global scaling by 2027–2028. Doctor T invites strategic investors, distributors, and partners to support deployment and commercialization. Interested parties should contact Doctor T to explore partnership opportunities and help shape the future of sustainable infrastructure.
