Somapa Information Technology Public Company Limited (SomapaIT) proudly announces another significant milestone as Dr. Namchoke Somapa, Founder of the company, received the Global Expansion Award at The Leadership Awards 2026, held on November 11, 2026, as part of the “GO THAILAND 2027: NEW GROWTH ENGINES” event.

The award recognizes outstanding leadership, vision, and achievements in expanding business operations into international markets. It also highlights SomapaIT's commitment to bringing Thai-developed technology and specialized expertise in Border Management and Immigration Systems to international markets, building on more than three decades of industry experience.

For over 30 years, SomapaIT has been dedicated to developing innovative technology solutions that support national security, immigration operations, and cross-border management. Building on its extensive experience in Thailand, the company has successfully expanded its expertise internationally through collaborations with government agencies and organizations across multiple countries.

Its international projects include deployments in the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Papua New Guinea, and the Republic of Liberia, covering key solutions such as Advance Passenger Processing System (APPS), Passenger Name Records (PNR), Multi-Agency Digital Arrival Solution (PNGDAC), and Entry/Exit Systems. These solutions help enhance passenger information management, strengthen border security, and improve operational efficiency for immigration authorities.

Today, SomapaIT's systems connect with more than 200 airlines and support the screening of over 100 million passengers annually, demonstrating the capability of Thai technology to manage large-scale data and support critical security operations at an international level.

Looking ahead, SomapaIT continues to advance its technological capabilities through Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly AI-Powered Risk Scoring, designed to support immigration officers in assessing potential risks and strengthening passenger screening processes. These innovations represent the company's vision of transforming traditional border management into smarter, more intelligent, and more efficient operations.

Dr. Namchoke Somapa stated that the company's achievements over the past 30 years reflect its unwavering commitment to innovation, long-term vision, and strong collaboration with partners across various sectors. Expanding into international markets is not simply about creating new business opportunities; it is also about sharing Thai expertise and innovation with the world, building international trust, and delivering meaningful value through responsible and sustainable technology development.

“We do not develop technology simply to make the world remember our name. We develop technology to help people, nations, and the world move forward with greater security, confidence, and connectivity.”

Receiving the Global Expansion Award marks another proud achievement for SomapaIT and reinforces the potential of Thai technology companies to develop specialized solutions that deliver real-world impact internationally.
