our global corporate headquarters
as another drive to help promote
Thailand as a hub for the digital
workforce in Asean.”

app market is also growing fast.
The global market is expected to
be worth US$98 billion by 2021,

billion reached in 2016.
Thailand, as a high growth country
in the app market, is expected
to provide good revenues. Mr.
Jayson Ho was quoted as saying,
“We expect the local mobile app
market to be worth hundreds of
millions of dollars per year.”
D8’s real expertise is its ability to
help companies to develop business
strategies by using new
technologies including specialist
areas such as virtual reality, digital
marketing and sophisticated
social media platforms. By creating
individual action plans based
on these technologies, D8 has
gained a good reputation to help
businesses implement their strategies
with a good level of success.
