BOI Gateway launched to enhance investor experience

Daily FT

August 26, 2025

THE Board of Investment (BOI) yesterday launched BOI Gateway, its in-house developed Online Investment Approval System and centralised digital platform created to streamline the investment application process.

It allows investors to submit project and site applications online. The system is structured around three main areas: investor management, investor experience, and staff operations.

The BOI IT Department, with support and collaboration with other departments, designed, developed, and implemented this digital transformation effort.

The BOI said digitalising the application process will eliminate paper-based submissions, move away from the time-consuming and costly methods currently in use, and enable real-time tracking of applications.

The new system creates an ecosystem that connects and enhances interaction with the key interfaces. The Investor portal enables a smooth application process and real-time investor engagement with every aspect of businessrelated activities with the BOI.
