Huawei Technologies (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and Grand Canal Land plc (GLAND) have announced a strategic partnership through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote a ‘Smart City’ project in Thailand. This project aims to develop smart offices in Thailand to support the future of working with integrated Information and Communication Technology (ICT), digital technology, and full connectivity. In addition, Huawei and GLAND plan to expand their cooperation to retail, shopping centres, residential buildings, and hotel business groups throughout Thailand to increase the country’s readiness to become the ASEAN digital hub, supporting the national strategy: Thailand 4.0.
“Huawei and GLAND have a close and longstanding partnership. The headquarters of Huawei Technologies Thailand has been in G Tower Grand, a subsidiary of GLAND, since we officially started our business in Thailand in 1999. In 2017, Huawei also launched Huawei Open Lab Bangkok in the same building to promote digital skills development in Thailand, create new innovations and support the country's goal of becoming the ASEAN digital hub. We hope that the cooperation between Huawei and GLAND will strengthen Thailand's real estate sector and fulfil Huawei's commitment to helping Thailand evolve in the digital era. We would like to bring digital technology to everyone, every home, and every organisation to create a fully connected, intelligent Thailand,” said Abel Deng, Chief Executive Officer, Huawei Technologies (Thailand).
“Thailand is evolving towards a fully digital society and will become an important digital hub in ASEAN through the government's national strategy: Thailand 4.0. It is also a strategic market for foreign investment and trade, especially from China, which is the world’s technology leader. This cooperation will enable us to leverage Huawei’s expertise to raise the potential for innovation creation in mixed-use projects such as retail spaces, shopping centres, office buildings, residential buildings, and hotels – including GLAND's subsidiaries. We are creating a modern and perfect ‘Smart Digital Township’ that helps drive business growth and helps real estate businesses adapt to a rapidly changing world,” added Naparat Srivanvit, Chief Executive Officer, Grand Canal Land plc.
