SEC firstly joined and displayed exhibition booth at SSF in year 2019 which people around 60,000, both government and private sector, from 140 countries participated. Last year we demonstrated the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) to develop Infrastructure for Thai capital market and our booth received well feedbacks from numerous participants. We decides to join SSF again this year to raise public awareness regarding SEC’s missions, regulations, and things we done, especially our plan to use digital technology to enhance development of the organization and capital market which is aligned with Thai capital market development plan, financial technology development and trending changes of customers’ behavior.”  

SFF 2020 was held for the fifth time. It organizes under People and Talent concept which focusing on the ability of human resources in financial and technology sectors to drive the innovations and bring back healthy society in year 2021 after COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, SEC presents a “digital showcase” online exhibition and creates digital media to widen public knowledge on the use of technology in Thai capital market, such as the progress of infrastructure development to support digital transactions in securities, and new fundraising channel through crowdfunding, etc. We believe that our involvement in this event will give Thai capital market more opportunities to connect with foreign countries in both regional and global aspects.
