SCG discusses AI and technology strategy at Singapore CEO forum
The Thai industrial group also said low-carbon cement development had begun in Vietnam, with expansion to Indonesia planned.
SCG outlined its approach to innovation, automation and artificial intelligence during the Forbes Global CEO Conference 2026, held in Singapore on 7–8 October. President and CEO Thammasak Sethaudom said businesses needed to change both their operations and working practices to remain competitive.
Speaking on a panel with business leaders from China and India, Thammasak said adopting technology needed to be accompanied by changes in how teams think, make decisions and work together. The discussion addressed AI, innovation and competition across ASEAN.
He pointed to SCG's low-carbon cement work as an example, saying the group had brought together outside expertise and its own research to speed up development and commercial production. He said the work addressed customer demand for greener products and supported the competitiveness of Thailand's cement industry.
Thammasak said development had also started in Vietnam and that SCG planned to expand to Indonesia. SCG attended the annual conference as a representative of Thailand's business community.
