The Japan External Trade Organisation (Jetro) is considering opening co-working spaces in Thailand in 2019. In the meantime, there are other ways to get involved with local startups and entrepreneurs. Bangkok does not possess a start-up infrastructure but has been targeted because of the number of Japanese companies already invested there. The country has the second-largest number of e-commerce users in Asean, according to a joint study conducted by Temasek and Google. The commitment to helping start-ups’ overseas staff is part of Jetro's aim to double venture capital investment in such companies by 2023 to JPY100bn ($890m).
