UOB LIVE will serve as a beacon of innovation and culture, resonating both locally and across the region.”

Ms Supaluck Umpujh, Chairwoman of The Mall Group and The EM District, said, “The EM District together with UOB and AEG are joining forces with the shared vision of revolutionizing the country’s business, retail and entertainment centres, placing Bangkok and Thailand at the forefront of world retail innovation, entertainment events, meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions (MICE) and new lifestyle experiences.”

”UOB LIVE, along with The EMSPHERE’s retail experiences from world renowned brands, prominent dining experiences, multi-cultural and entertainment complexes with world-class facilities, is set to establish new standards for the regional live entertainment scene. It's an integral component of our EM District vision, which centres around curating exceptional experiences in retail, entertainment, and lifestyle within a single location. This partnership with AEG and UOB underlines our shared commitment to innovation, creativity, and excellence.

”We firmly believe that this will mark a new era in the retail and entertainment industries. Tourism and relevant businesses will boost the economy and generate massive job opportunities while increasing the attractiveness of Thailand for local and foreign investors,” Supaluck concluded.

Adam Wilkes, President and CEO of AEG Asia Pacific, echoed the sentiment, affirming, "This is a transformative partnership that will usher in a new era of entertainment.
