The Northern Economic Corridor (Abrv: NEC–Creative LANNA; Thai: ระเบียงเศรษฐกิจพิเศษภาคเหนือ) is a special economic zone in Thailand that covers four provinces: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, and Lamphun.[2] It is designated as a production base for the creative economy based on the local culture,[3] with a focus on sustainable development.[4] The NEC aims to promote community and cultural tourism and improve products for export.[5] This corridor focuses on developing infrastructure to support a creative economy, a telecommunications network to promote the North as a digital hub as well as wellness, smart city projects and organic foods.[6][7]
The corridor is also aligned with the "Bio-Circular-Green Economy Model (BGC)",[8] a national agenda to drive future industries under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and promote stable and sustainable economic growth.[7]
