The Digital Economy and Society Ministry has joined forces with the National Soft Power Development Committee and partners to accelerate the development of skilled talent for Thailand's digital content industry and push the content towards global markets.

The move is to serve the government's policy under the One Family One Soft Power Skill (OFOS) policy, known as OFOS-GAME, as well as to drive the economic value of the digital content industry from 40 billion baht at present to 100 billion baht in the future.

According to DES Minister Prasert Jantararuangtong, the initiative is part of the Thai Digital Content Go Global project operated by the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa), which aims to foster an ecosystem that supports the digital content industry and develops practical and in-demand game development skills aligned with global market needs.
