Gate News message, April 17 — Gulf Edge Co., the digital infrastructure arm of Gulf Development Public Company Limited, has partnered with Kore.ai to build AI-powered enterprise solutions targeting the Thai market. The deal grants Gulf Edge exclusive rights to develop and deliver sector-specific AI solutions for telecom, banking, insurance, healthcare, and the public sector in Thailand.
Gulf Development holds stakes in Advanced Info Service (AIS), Thailand's leading mobile and fixed broadband operator, and operates Gulf Edge Data Center and GSA, which have a combined planned capacity exceeding 160 megawatts as of January 2026. The partnership leverages Kore.ai's enterprise AI platform to accelerate AI adoption across these sectors.
The collaboration targets Thailand's projected AI market, expected to reach $3.5 billion by 2030 with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 28%. For Kore.ai, the partnership offers a capital-light expansion route into fast-growing Southeast Asia through a domestic partner already operating digital infrastructure; for Gulf Edge, it enables a strategic move into higher-value AI services while supporting Gulf Development's broader cloud and AI investment strategy.
