Mr. Ruangroj Poonpol, Group Chairman of KBTG expressed his
gratitude to all attendees and partners who have partaken in the event,
saying “this is the first big conference hosted by KBTG. Our aim for
KBTG Techtopia is to create a platform where we can learn together, help
each other grow and elevate the Thai tech ecosystem to the next level.
This year, we have witnessed how fast AI is evolving. While new
opportunities are presented to us, more and more people begin to fear
the possibility of AI replacing their jobs in the near future.
Nevertheless, if we possess the right knowledge, skill and mindset, I
believe we can use AI to augment human’s capability and help us achieve
the things we never could before.
The next ten years will definitely go by faster than the past 50
years, so it is up to us whether we want to be transformed or drive the
transformation ourselves. This is the perfect time for us to imagine the
world in which we would like to live, then explore how AI can assist us
in turning that vision into a reality. Once we have the answer, we can
think and create said world together. Essentially that is what KBTG
Techtopia is about: uncovering new possibilities and realizing the
future with a community of people who are as passionate as you.”
In response to Kasikornbank’s business strategies based on ESG
principles in the drive towards sustainable growth, KBTG will donate all
proceeds from ticket and merchandise sales to Thailand Environment
Institute, a non-profit, non-governmental organization focusing on
environmental and sustainable development issues.
At KASIKORN Business-Technology Group, we never
cease to develop and innovate financial solutions on top of our
“Customer First” mindset. We are the driving force behind KBank’s
success as well as their navigator exploring the digital world beyond
Thailand. Our wide-ranging online banking services are equipped with
