 BACKGROUND 

From 2017 on, Thailand has been moving forward with its project, “Thailand 4.0,” which focuses on digital economization. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been an accelerated shift to focus even more on digital economization, and many Thai industries have returned to almost pre-pandemic economic levels.
Especially when considering the Western markets (U.S., Europe, etc.) the growth of many startup companies in Thailand, particularly software as a service (SaaS) companies, has been more than noteworthy.
Furthermore, ASEAN is, by 2025, expected to be one of the five biggest players in the digital technologies market. While big things can be expected of the Japanese IT industries, currently knowledge of Japanese IT solutions is limited and therefore are not being chosen by Thai companies.
In order to overcome this situation, we created the JRIT ICHI project and market place in order to push Japanese IT solutions into the markets of Thailand and the ASEAN countries.
