Why are Thai groups investing heavily in the CLMV countries?
What factors are pushing the rapid integration of the Mekong region?
How can local companies ride the wave and gain access to a much larger market?

The French export team is inviting you for a day of exploration into a new business region, at the Pullman King Power in Bangkok, on June 8th. Register today and join us!

The CLMV countries and Thailand are at the heart of 2 major international economic endeavors: the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). They further drive a local development plan around the Mekong river (GMS). Thailand has 28% of the region’s population, but 56% of its GDP and as its economy matures, the main actors are now looking for new playing fields.

We will start by a historic and economic presentation of these 5 countries that are so different but still share a lot, to understand how national priorities push towards closer ties, as illustrated by CLMV share of Thai exports jumping from 3.0% in 2000 to over 10% nowadays.

During the forum, you will learn from Khun Kan Trakulhoon how the expansion policies of large Thai companies such as Siam Cement Group were successfully designed and conducted. You will have the opportunity to discover regional strategies of French global leaders that use Thailand as their hub, with business cases on Essilor, Michelin, Airbus, Schneider Electric and ACCOR.
Country-specific seminars with the participation of members of the local French teams (Embassy, Chamber of Commerce, business leaders), will be held to highlight the present insights on doing business locally and identify sectorial opportunities in the CLMV countries.

We will hear from Khun Vikrom Kromadit about his vision of CLMV for the future, as his group Amata has been heavily committed to expanding its support activities towards neighboring countries as well.

A full day to scroll down from macro-economics to hands-on advice on new business in the CLMV countries, and plenty of networking opportunities with those already in those markets!

This event is an initiative of the Thailand Committee of French Foreign Trade Advisors (Les Conseillers du Commerce Extérieur, CCEs), in cooperation with the French Embassy, the Franco-Thai Chamber of Commerce and Business France.

The French CCEs are a world-wide network of 4,000 business leaders and experts in international business, selected for their competence. They share their experience and engage in concrete initiatives, on a voluntary basis. They contribute by their advice, support and opinion on international trade issues and specific markets.

All presentations and discussions will be held in English. Early bird registration fee: 2,000 THB until May 8th then 3,000 THB, including lunch and activities.
