The company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Thursday in San Francisco with the Thai government to pursue the vision of a digital-first, AI-powered Thailand.
The partnership aims to strengthen Thailand’s economic competitiveness, create high-value jobs that enable Thais to achieve more, and position Thailand as a regional leader in digital innovation and sustainability, Microsoft said.
Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, who is currently attending the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in San Francisco, met with CEO Satya Nadella and discussed the key objectives of the MoU.
He stated Thailand’s commitment to a sustainable future and renewable energy, which aligns with Microsoft’s vision.
“This collaboration will strengthen our country’s economy while enhancing our digital capability,” Srettha said.
Among the topics discussed were building a digital-first Thailand, shaping the country’s AI-powered future, preparing Thais for the future of work and life, and elevating Thailand to green growth leadership.
Microsoft said that, in accordance with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society’s “digital government” and “cloud first” policies, the company would collaborate closely with Thai government agencies to drive the development of smart digital infrastructure in areas such as agriculture, healthcare, tourism, and education.
