CDG has shifted from being merely an employer to becoming a "Tech Talent Developer," investing in students’ potential while they are still in university. By partnering with universities across Thailand, the group turns classroom knowledge into practical experience through real‑world challenges such as upgrading the civil registry system, advancing digital government, and applying GIS and Location Intelligence for spatial planning and decision‑making. Companies within the CDG group — Control Data (Thailand), CDG Systems, GIS, and ESRI (Thailand) — provide deep expertise and act as bridges, passing on five decades of belief that technology is valuable only when it solves problems and creates positive change for people and society. The collaboration is reinforced by the University Excellence Award, which honors academic partners who help drive the nation’s digital workforce under the banner "TECHNOLOGY FOR A BETTER SOCIETY."
