Bangkok--Jan 7--SET
The President of the Market for Alternative Investment (mai), Mr. Vichate Tantiwanich, disclosed that the mai is taking part in ‘Thailand Animation & Multimedia 2005’, or TAM 2005. This event is co-hosted by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology and the Software Industry Promotion Agency (a public organization). The mai is sending a marketing team there to give advice to entrepreneurs in the animation and technology businesses who wish to expand their businesses quickly or at an exceptional rate through the mai. The TAM 2005 takes place from January 6 — 9 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC).
“Entrepreneurs in the animation industry are typically young, active, creative, and determined. The business itself also has good growth potential, and hence is one of the important target industries for mai. At TAM 2005, there will be 53 animation and multimedia companies participating. These companies have registered capital ranging from a few million baht to tens of millions,” Mr. Vichate said.
The mai team has met with many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to advise them on their business expansions, alternative fund sources, and how to prepare for listing on the mai. The initial feedback has been quite impressive.
“Although these companies do not have large capital bases, they can still access appropriate sources of funds if they prepare well. They then will each eventually have their own opportunities to grow and develop to the international level.
The 2 companies which are currently in the process of listing on the mai and are also being showcased at TAM2005 are Imagimax Pcl. and Cyber Planet Pcl.,” said Mr. Vichate.
Any entrepreneurs interested in seeking advice from the mai at TAM 2005 can visit the mai’s booth no. M19 in the Plenary Hall during Jan. 6 — 9, 2005, 10:00 — 20:00 hrs. at the QSNCC.
