Thailand shores up digital economy drive
The Thai Board of Investment Seoul Office held a seminar in mid-July to promote the country’s rising digital economy and attract investors and specialists. The venue titled “Thailand: Moving forward to digital economy” gave an overview of developments in the second largest economy in Southeast Asia, as it transitions toward a knowledge-based society. Through the ambitious government initiative “Thailand 4.0,” Bangkok aims to transform the country into a regional innovation hub, housing research and development centers, universities with cutting-edge competitiveness and talented professionals in information communications technology.
