The Asia-Pacific Business Forum 2011

Trade and Investment Fair will take place at the United Nations Conference Centre (UNCC), Bangkok, Thailand. This event is organized as part of the 2nd Session of the Committee on Trade and Investment during the Second Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Week, which will convene during the same period.

The worst effects of the global economic crisis are deemed to be contained, though the range of extraordinary measures required to accomplish that feat — mainly through economic stimulus spending – have also transformed the domestic business environments for many of the affected Asia-Pacific economies, leaving them with the need to inject new trade and investment opportunities to be the catalysts for growth and development.

The theme of the Fair is thus “Facing Challenges, Capturing Opportunities”.

The Fair, which will be held bi-annually, essentially intends to maximize information sharing on national trade and investment opportunities, policies, projects and programmes, as well as to facilitate networking of national trade and investment promotion agencies with their stakeholders in the region. It will also serve as a platform for industry networking, information exchange and commercial matching opportunities to the business sectors.

Deadline for expressing of interest to participate is 20 June 2011.
