BANGKOK -- Thailand's leading microchip designer Silicon Craft Technology has announced its plan to debut on the country's stock exchange following the subscription period later this month.

The Bangkok-based company is poised to expand its development capability, as it expects the spread of fifth-generation (5G) telecom technology will push up demand for microchips for internet of things applications. The chip company is putting particular focus on chips for animal tagging.
