Why attend?
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) includes 10 markets which brings together an area of the world with significant opportunities for UK businesses. By 2030, Southeast Asia’s economy is predicted to eclipse Japan’s and be the world’s 4th largest single market after the EU, US and China. Steady growth combined with investor-friendly government policies have attracted businesses keen to explore the vibrant new domestic markets. Currently 17.6% of all ASEAN’s EU trade in goods and services is with the UK.
What are the benefits? Participating delegates will have the opportunity to:
• Receive extensive support before and throughout the mission
