Popular tech giant Cisco has recently made an announcement that it is partnering with the Thai government to accelerate digitalization. The new move comes under the country’s latest Country Digital Acceleration (CDA) program to support technologies in regards to smart city solutions, connected healthcare, 5G for enterprises, and cybersecurity. Cisco’s VP Dave West has stated that technology plays an integral part in driving more equal and inclusive opportunities to underserved communities and populations. The hybrid event was attended by the country’s Digital Economy and Society minister Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn.

Under the latest deal, Cisco is committed to providing expertise and resources along with global administration. Previously, the tech giant had trained more than 65k students, and now more than 6,700 students have enrolled for a variety of network academy programs.
