The Japan External Trade Organisation ( Hiroki Mitsumata ) is considering opening co-working spaces in Bangkok in 2019 . The group views the expansion as part of attempts to encourage cooperation between Japan and Thailand that will facilitate it aiding start-ups with moves abroad. Thailand does not possess a start-up infrastructure but has been targeted because of the number of Thai companies already invested there. The commitment to helping start-ups’ overseas staff is part of Jetro 's aim to double venture capital investment in such companies by 2019 to JPY100bn ( $890m ).
