This is the only Exposition for Animation and Multimedia Industry in Thailand. Thailand is moving to develop its Digital Content Cluster and prepare itself to compete in the global marketplace.Thailand is entering the global digital content marketplace – notably in the animation and computer game market segments – at a time when competitive forces are driving major companies to engage new pools of affordable talent for animation, games development, digital video production, post-production, website design, special effects, and e-learning services. Thailand offers stability, incentives, and strong creative talent to meet these needs.Thailand’s opportunity to make a success is benefiting from a convergence of both market and technology trends. Thailand, however, is still in early stages of capitalizing on these trends. Overall, its software and digital content exports in 2002 stood at approximately US$46.5 million, with digital content comprising 19 % or roughly US$ 8.79 million. An estimated 1,000 animators and computer game development workers at present are employed producing for the regional and global market.
