BANGKOK, 8 August 2012 (NNT) – The Information and
Communication Technology Ministry, or ICT, is supporting and encouraging the
Thai ICT-related industries for the advent of the AEC.
ICT Minister Anudith Nakornthap revealed that his ministry
has drawn up a plan to boost competitiveness of Thai ICT entrepreneurs in the
international market. The ICT Ministry has a specific strategy to create new
entrepreneurs in this field in order to prepare the country for the upcoming
ASEAN economic community. He added that specific strategy has been laid down
for many ICT industries, including software, animation, games, computers,
network services, and electronic industries. The Ministry has compiled
information regarding the value of ICT-related industries, the number of
entrepreneurs and personnel involved, growth tendency, and technology trends.
The information will be used in formulating a policy and right-to-the-point
work plans to upgrade the ICT sector. The ministry is also set to help educate
Thai entrepreneurs about the AEC market, making it easier for them to find
trade partners in the region.
Towards that goal, the ICT Ministry will provide ICT courses
to new and existing ICT entrepreneurs. The courses will educate Thai
businessmen about marketing, finance, law, and accounting, so that they can
start up their businesses in the right way and reduce the risk of business
failure.
