Microsoft to set up data and AI centre in Thailand

This move is expected to provide AI skilling opportunities for more than 100,000 people, and support the nation’s growing developer community.

Microsoft has unveiled its commitments to build a data and AI centre in Thailand

Announced by Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, this investment will aim to provide AI skilling opportunities for more than 100,000 people, and support the nation’s growing developer community.

The new data center is expected to help Thai organisations across the public and private sector to drive new impact and economic growth.

Microsoft also works with Thailand's National Cyber Security Agency to provide information on internet safety, cyber risks and vulnerabilities, and other relevant guidelines to help the country improve its cybersecurity posture in the AI era. Complementing this, the Ministry of Finance is also leveraging AI to improve cross-agency data collaboration, resulting in deeper insights to support policy creation.

This follows growing demand for cloud computing services in Thailand from enterprises, local businesses, and public sector organisations. It will also allow Thailand to capitalise on the significant economic and productivity opportunities presented by the latest AI technology.
