Digital Economy / ICT Committee
JFCCT has developed a schematic and explanation of Digital Economy which shows dependencies in the digital economy eco-system. This covers a wide variety of interests, including telecommunications services equipment, technology and equipment, IT services, software and software development, eCommerce, governance of the on-line world (data privacy, cybersecurity, electronic transactions), copyright, digital literacy, digital assets and digital broadcasting.
The Digital Economy / ICT group aims to contribute to the economic growth of Thailand in and through development of the Digital Economy including in ICT, building consensus amongst its constituent members in the ICT and other digital arenas and facilitate business collaboration and the transfer of skills. The industry tends to be by its nature global – the services it provides, the resources it uses, do not on their own recognize the physical and political boundaries of nation states. Jurisdictional issues are common. Technology transfer, skills development and the transfer of know-how and the various policies and regulations which impact such activity are all part of the purview of the Digital Economy / ICT Committee. The Digital Economy/ICT committee collaborates with and meets jointly with the EABC Advocacy Group on Digital Economy / ICT see www.eabc-thailand.org. To contact us see under Contact Us on this website.
