Mr. Paradorn Prissananantakul, Minister Attached to the Prime Minister’s Office, presided over the opening ceremony of the Digital Government Summit 2025, organized by the Digital Government Development Agency (Public Organization), or DGA, under the theme “Leading Thailand to the Top in GovTech.” The event aims to position Thailand as a global leader in digital government.
The Minister stated that digital government is about designing the nation’s future with a citizen-centric approach, ensuring convenient, fast, and secure access to public services. The government is driving three key initiatives:
– Tang Rat Super App: Integrating all government services into one platform.
– One Data, Once Only: Connecting all agencies through the Government Data Exchange.
– Safe and Secure: Strengthening cybersecurity via the Government Cloud.
Thailand’s ranking in the UN E-Government Development Index improved from 55th in 2022 to 52nd in 2024, now second in ASEAN. The government aims to reach global leadership by 2026.
Mrs. Airada Luangvilai, Acting Executive Director of DGA, highlighted five core missions: comprehensive citizen services via Tang Rat App, business facilitation, open data transparency, secure digital infrastructure, and capacity building through TDGA. DGA also plans to launch a Digital ID system for foreign nationals.
DG Summit 2025 reflects collaboration between public and private sectors in driving Thailand’s digital transformation—making public services more accessible, secure, and trustworthy for all.
