Description

The pandemic has fast-forwarded opportunities to enact bold new ideas and change.

One such opportunity is for Thailand to reimagine the way in which digital transformation in the public and private sectors can accelerate economic recovery, return Thailand to growth, and attract more foreign direct investment (FDI).  An integral part of this opportunity is the use of big data in making optimal decisions for both public and private investment.

To share views on this topic, AMCHAM’s Digital Economy Committee has assembled a panel of experts to participate in a webinar on digital transformation and the regulatory environment required to truly benefit from Cloud computing.  
​
The discussion will include:

• The impact that data-based public sector decisions will have upon areas such as social investments, health, transportation, tourism.
• The importance of Cloud and AI in helping the public and private sectors make decisions based on facts.
• The essential shifts in Thailand’s current policy framework regarding cloud first policy, privacy, security and data flows.
