Government bid to raise country's digital competitiveness

Mr Wisit gives a keynote address at an event of Digital Governance Thailand (DGT 2023) held under the concept of "Happiness Creation." The event hosted by the ETDA last week brought together more than 50 partners from the public and private sectors.

The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry wants digital-related businesses to contribute 30% of GDP and for Thailand to reach the top 30 of the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking, both by 2027.

The targets can be achieved by promoting the adoption of digital technology for products and services that add value in key sectors such as digital, commerce, tourism, public health, finance and education, said DES Minister Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn.
