1.2 Strategies and Measures

To begin with, this Roadmap was drafted taking into account Thailand’s national
ICT development plans, with emphasis on utilizing opportunities arising from the

AIM 2020. In addition, the analysis of national ICT competitiveness was conducted to
determine measures and activities that are to be implemented. As such, six strategies are

derived as follows:

 Strategy 1: Enhance the capability of domestic ICT infrastructure to
accommodate future growth in domestic demand, and as a preparation for

becoming the center of internet exchange for the CLMV group of countries
 Strategy 2: Assist SMEs in finding new markets and adopting technologies

for business efficiency, and create a start-up ecosystem that fosters new
entrepreneurs

 Strategy 3: Create an equitable society where citizens can fully leverage the
benefits of technology

 Strategy 4: Develop a citizen-centric digital government, and revolutionize

governments’ work processes through the use of cloud computing and open
data

 Strategy 5: Equip the domestic workforce with ICT skills, in preparation for
more intense competition in the ASEAN Community

 Strategy 6: Promote safe and secure online usage
