Thailand's Deputy PM and Finance Minister announced a partnership with Canva to drive creative economy growth. The initiative targets 40,000 SMEs with design tools, aims to grow Thai Canva Creators from 190 to 1,000 by 2571, expand education access from 3.3M to 6.6M users, and invite Canva to establish a regional office and AI-Design research hub in Thailand. This positions Thailand as a tech development hub while leveraging Canva's 7M+ monthly Thai users (world's 6th largest market) to boost SMEs' export and digital competitiveness.
