Phichet Rerkpreecha, Chief Executive Officer at LINE Thailand, stated that it is expected that Asia will become the region that influences the world’s economy in the next decade, as indicated by how well Asian nations are able to navigate through the COVID-19 crisis, thanks to the region’s technological development which greatly contributed to the success. According to the information from the IDC (International Data Corporation), the adoption of digital technology in the Asia Pacific region will increase its GPD by about 1.6 trillion dollars per annum, or 0.8% within 2021.

Recognizing the importance of having leading CEOs in Thailand to be able to access the information about the region’s economic growth, LINE - as one of the leading technology companies in Asia - will organize an Exclusive CEO Talk event under the topic “RISING ASIA: NEW WORLD ORDER”, welcoming veteran leaders from various industries to brainstorm and discuss the direction of the new business landscape shaped by the pandemic and the subsequent “New Normal.” The event aims at helping the business sector adapt to the uncertainty and prepare for the future.

Being part of the LINE THAILAND BUSINESS 2020 event, the 2-hour Exclusive CEO Talk under the theme “RISING ASIA: NEW WORLD ORDER” features two panel speakers both of whom are today’s respected leaders of the business industry — McKinsey & Company’s Chairman (Asia) Oliver Tonby and LINE Thailand’s Chief Executive Officer Phichet Rerkpreecha. The talk will be moderated by media visionary, respected news anchor, Suthichai Yoon.

The invitation-only event will take place on Thursday October 8th from 8AM to 10AM at Waldorf Astoria Bangkok.
