Digital Transformation Asia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — November 14, 2019 — As TM Forum, the industry association driving digital transformation through collaboration, closed its doors on the most successful Digital Transformation Asia event so far, the Forum announced that its flagship Asian event is heading to Bangkok, Thailand, in 2020 due to event growth.

With Thailand ranked the number one country to start a business for 2019* and a nationwide goal to train 40,000 tech workers by 2022 in fields such as blockchain, AI, quantum computing, data analytics and IoT, the country is making progress in preparing its citizens for a 5G future,” said Nik Willetts, CEO, TM Forum. “Kuala Lumpur has been a wonderful location for the last two years, and we are looking forward to a new home in Bangkok.”
