In a move to drive Thailand's digital evolution and position the country as a Southeast Asian AI hub, Huawei has entered a strategic partnership with Thailand's Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES).

Unveiled at the Huawei Cloud AI Summit Thailand 2023, this collaboration marks a step towards Thailand's ambitions of embracing AI technology and establishing a resilient digital infrastructure.

At the core of this partnership is the shared vision of nurturing a thriving AI ecosystem in Thailand.

Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong, representing MDES, highlighted the importance of this collaboration:

"As a representative from MDES, I would like to thank Huawei Thailand for taking the leading role within the private sector in setting up this important event and bringing the global experience of Huawei and its partners to Thailand, as well as for helping foster the country’s cloud and AI digital ecosystems,"

The government's cloud-first policy serves as a catalyst for this transformation.

Huawei's Role in Digital Transformation

Minister Prasert stressed the importance of partnering with private sector leaders like Huawei to expedite Thailand's digital transformation.

This collaboration is expected to stimulate local talent development, enhance economic sustainability, and improve the well-being of the Thai people.

Huawei is committed to assisting Thailand in harnessing AI's potential and establishing a robust digital foundation.

During the summit, Huawei showcased cutting-edge AI solutions tailored to Thailand's needs, including models for the Thai language, meteorology, government operations, and applications for the finance and retail sectors.

Huawei's Role in Thailand

David Li, CEO of Huawei Thailand, expressed the company's role in establishing a robust digital foundation.

"By building a robust digital foundation in Thailand and constructing AI infrastructure for the government and enterprises, Huawei Cloud is empowering the nation to harness the transformative power of AI. This will in turn lead to the proliferation of AI applications across industries, ultimately benefitting Thai people and driving the country’s digital progress."

This partnership is expected to drive economic growth by fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
