Thailand and Utah: Building the next chapter of trade 🇹🇭
Thailand sits at the heart of Southeast Asia’s dynamic economy as a regional hub for manufacturing, logistics, tourism, and emerging technology. For Utah companies exploring Asia, the country offers a strategic gateway to a market of nearly 70 million people and a broader ASEAN region of more than 650 million.
Join us for a Crossroads of the World luncheon with Dr. Suriya Chindawongse, Ambassador of Thailand to the United States, as we explore the evolving economic relationship between Thailand and the United States and the opportunities ahead for Utah businesses.
Ambassador Chindawongse will share insights on Thailand’s economic priorities, regional trade dynamics, and areas where U.S. and Thai companies can collaborate.
This event is hosted in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity and the Salt Lake Chamber.
