The Afaceri.ro Trade Mission to Thailand 2026 invites Romanian entrepreneurs, SME managers, and institutional representatives to explore one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic business environments — Bangkok, a regional hub for innovation, manufacturing, and digital transformation.
Over four days, participants will take part in B2B meetings, institutional visits, and networking events designed to strengthen trade and investment relations between Romania and Thailand. The mission will also include study visits to innovation centers, chambers of commerce, and selected industrial or digital clusters (TBC), complemented by cultural immersion experiences offering deeper insight into Thailand’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Participants will benefit from practical learning sessions on doing business in Thailand, covering topics such as market access, local business etiquette, and emerging opportunities in sectors like technology, renewable energy, food processing, education, and tourism.
The Thailand segment concludes on October 12th, when delegates can choose to either return to Romania or continue with the Afaceri.ro Trade Mission to Malaysia (October 12–20, 2026) — a natural extension of this Southeast Asian business journey, covering Kuala Lumpur and Sabah.
This mission represents a valuable opportunity to connect with regional partners, expand market presence, and build cross-cultural business collaborations in one of Asia’s most promising economic corridors.
