Long term mission to improve quality of life and boost the economy through technology

Among its key missions, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES), aims to address challenges and improve people’s lives through digital technology. In line with Thailand’s Digital Economic and Society Development Plan, the MDES is dedicated to transforming the country into a technology-driven society, expanding new business opportunities and empowering the country’s public and private organizations alike towards a prosperous and sustainable future.

Since the beginning of the local pandemic outbreak in early 2020, the MDES, with the help of several agencies that promote digital technology, promptly responded to the country’s urgent need for reliable digital solutions and innovative technologies designed to meet the demands and requirements of those in the Covid-19 front-line. With the objective to ensure health and safety of both medical staff and patients, the MDES actively combined efforts and gathered resources from top organizations to help the government contain the outbreak and keep everyone connected by ensuring smooth and timely communications for all working teams, at traditional hospitals and emergency medical facilities alike.
