Arrow Electronics Teams up with 10 Global Technology Suppliers to Help Thai Businesses Adopt Integrated IoT Solutions

According to a survey conducted by Asia IoT BusinessPlatform in 2017, companies in Thailand were most likely (89%) to exploreand/or implement IoT solutions. This was followed by Malaysia (86%), Indonesia(83%), the Philippines (80%) and Vietnam (79%)[1].Thailand's IoT spending is forecast to increase by 1600% by 2020[2].

"Thailand is one ofthe fastest growing markets in ASEAN and the government's ambition is to developthe country, by advancing infrastructure and connectivity. There is significantpotential for businesses in Thailand to provide technological support andfacilitate that growth," said Mr. Pornchai Pruksaratananon, a committee memberof the Thai Embedded Systems Association, in a welcome speech at the seminar.  "This seminar provides insights and guidancefor industry experts to explore how best to utilize IoT technology to improve ourbusiness ecosystem."

"We are excited to be collaborating with 10 globaltechnology suppliers to develop intelligent and IoT-enabled devices and to helpIoT practitioners overcome their time-to-market challenges," said Mr. NatarajanMM, vice president of sales, South Asia for Arrow's Asia-Pacific componentsbusiness.   "Together with ourworld-class capabilities, this alliance will further accelerate theimplementation of IoT technology in the physical environment and driveimprovements in local business practices in Thailand."
