LES Thailand Annual Conference 2018
Theme: Industrial 4.0 : Identification, Creation & Management of IP for a coming industry revolution
Date and Time: 1-2 February 2018
Place: Gallery 1-2, 36th Floor, Pullman Bangkok Hotel G, Silom Road
Shaping Thailand’s economic growth is the government’s focus on its “Thailand 4.0” policy, a new economic model that aims to create sustainable growth, lift the country out of its “middle-income trap,” and reduce inequality and imbalances. Five relatively new industrial groups are being targeted under this policy. They are the food, agriculture and bio-technology group; the health and medical technology group; the robotics, smart devices and mechatronics group; the artificial intelligence and internet-related group; and the creativity, culture and high-value services group. It is hoped that a focus on these target groups will lead to various new startup industries that will stimulate long-term economic growth.
In addition to Thailand 4.0, Thailand’s recent upgrade from the United States Trade Representative’s Priority Watch List to the Watch List represents an official acknowledgement of the great strides Thailand has made in improving its practices for intellectual property protection and enforcement as it progresses toward the goal of Thailand 4.0.
With this in mind, the Licensing Executives Society (Thailand) will hold its Annual Conference on 1-2 February 2018 under the banner of “Thailand 4.0 and IP Issues for the Government’s Promoted Industries – Automation, Robotics & Artificial Intelligence and Fintech, block chain and encryption.
Technological evolution has dramatically changed the way we are and will be conducting business now and in the future. Join LES Thailand as we explore these issues as they will relate to the Government’s drive to push the economy forward through advances in artificial intelligence and more efficient payment, financial and insurance services. How will these rapid changes in both technology and government policy affect your businesses?
