Brother helps entrepreneurs brace for “Digital Disruption” at the seminar event on “Turn Economic Crisis into Opportunities: Do or Die.”
Brother Commercial (Thailand) Ltd. is an official sponsor for the seminar on “Turn Economic Crisis into Opportunities: Do or Die” to encourage Thai entrepreneurs to turn the current economic crisis into business opportunities, and to face challenges and risks from new technologies and digital business, or digital disruption, to efficiently navigate their businesses through risk factors that come from technological changes.
Dr. Suvit Maesincee, Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, delivered a special speech on the topic “Turning the crisis on creating the Thai economy: Do or Die” advising entrepreneurs to develop business models that are in line with the Thailand 4.0 policy, to create a balance between HI and AI to make the Thai society a knowledge sharing society, to wisely increase professional skills, to incorporate technology into business, and to improve service quality in order to strengthen the economy.
The following session was “Brave the Digital Tsunami: Create Business Opportunities,” a talk by 3 experts led by Mr. Teerawut Supapanpinyo, Managing Director of Brother Commercial (Thailand) Ltd, Mr. Pochara Arayakarnkul, CEO of Bluebik Group Co., Ltd and Digital Transformation Strategic Consultant, and Dr. Anuchit Anuchitanukul, Head of Process and Product Improvement and Alternative Channels Group of Kiatnakin Bank PCL., who shared their perspectives on the current economic picture, pointed out problematic areas, gave an overview market analysis, and revealed techniques on how to make a difference and increase a competitive edge by using technology as the core strategy.
