Semiconductor giant Intel says it is committed to helping accelerate
growth and opportunity for Myanmar through technologies and educational
programmes.
In an announcement that marks the first official entry of a
semiconductor manufacturer to Myanmar, Intel said its technologies would
be made available via local Ingram Micro distributor KMD. Effective
immediately, Intel central processing units (CPUs), motherboards and
solid-state drives will be available.
Intel says it will also work with multinational brands to support their entry to Myanmar next year.
"We are encouraged by developments in Myanmar and believe that now is
the right time for Intel to be supporting the nation's growth," said
Uday Marty, managing director of Intel's business in Southeast Asia.
"Intel looks forward to being a partner to Myanmar. Our support will
include both our leading technologies and education programmes, which
together make a difference to nations globally.
"Intel will focus its skills and resources in ways which can improve the
social and economic welfare and prospects of the people of Myanmar. In
addition to our technologies, it is our intention to explore
partnerships with the Myanmar government on education and digital
literacy in 2013," Marty said.
Intel's Thailand office and team will play a significant leadership
role, including working with multinationals to enable their presence and
success via sales and marketing activities including merchandising,
training and joint marketing.
"As the world leader and innovator in technology development, Intel
believes that technology has tremendous potential to improve lives and
position nations for greater global competitiveness," Marty said.
