As the country battles the pandemic, digital content and big data business in Thailand are still expected to thrive this year with 15% revenue growth to 39 billion baht, says Surapong Lertsithichai, chairman of the Bangkok International Digital Content Festival 2021 (BIDC 2021).
BIDC 2021, which launched yesterday, provides digital business matching from today until Friday. Digital content webinars for the event started on July 1 and are scheduled to end on Friday.
The event is being held online this year due to the pandemic.
Speaking during the launch of the event, Mr Surapong, who is also president of the Bangkok ACM SIGGRAPH Association (BASA), said a similar growth rate is also expected next year with revenue expected to reach 45 billion baht.
More than 82,000 counterfeit batteries seized were intended for sale
on eCommerce platforms
Thai police have successfully dismantled a Panasonic counterfeiting ring and recovered over 82,000 fake batteries bearing Panasonic s trademark. The seizure is the largest to date for the brand in Southeast Asia, with the batteries intended for sales on various eCommerce platforms.
The raid, which took place at a warehouse outside Bangkok in May, was the result of several months of close collaboration between Panasonic s brand team and Lazada s intellectual property rights protection team, who facilitated information sharing and provided evidence to the relevant Thai authorities.
As batteries are often classified as consumables, they are regularly overlooked as products that can be counterfeited, despite the risk that fake batteries are highly hazardous and can cause serious damage to a variety of household appliances.
