Description: The Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) is pleased to invite eligible applicants to submit program ideas to implement the American Cybersecurity Enhancement Program (ACEP) for Thai Entrepreneurs. PDS Bangkok prioritizes selecting the best-qualified proposal from applicants that show clear alignment with and capability to advance shared goals and U.S. government priorities and interests, highlighting U.S. innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership. Applicants must demonstrate their intent to effectively and efficiently administer U.S. government funds in a way that strengthens the bilateral relationship between the United States and Thailand. This notice is subject to the availability of funding.

Goal – The ACEP aims to introduce and leverage American technology, innovation, and standards to improve cybersecurity systems and create a more secure and safer digital environment in Thailand, thereby strengthening partnership between Thailand and the United States. This program will assist and prepare Thai entrepreneurs in mitigating the risks and damages of cyberattacks, stolen data, and financial losses.

Objectives – The ACEP focuses on enhancing Thai entrepreneurs’ knowledge and skills in cybersecurity and introducing more secure systems by learning from American approaches and companies. This program also creates opportunities for Thai businesses to gain firsthand experience in implementing advanced cybersecurity measures. It will also encourage and create favorable conditions for U.S. business and economic partnership in Thailand.

Target Audience – 45-60 beginning to mid-level entrepreneurs and SMEs that have been in business for 1 to 5 years with an interest in improving data safeguarding and cybersecurity systems.

Proposed program activities should demonstrate strong ties to U.S. expertise, technology, and companies. This can include partnerships with U.S. organizations, the involvement of U.S. experts in the project, or collaboration with U.S. businesses
