Is Now the Time for Expansion in Asia?

Norway Connect: Is Now the Time for Expansion in Asia?

Norway Connect, our premium member, would like to share with you why EFTA businesses in Thailand should expand into other Asian markets and how Asian Insiders, Norway Connect’s partner, helps strengthen Asian expansion plans.

These are interesting times, and European Free Trade Association businesses currently operating in Thailand are considering expansion. It certainly makes sense. The two sides recently concluded negotiations on a comprehensive free trade arrangement while global uncertainty has made businesses prioritise stability and existing relationships. Given Thailand’s ASEAN membership and other economic arrangements, companies with existing operations can use this as a launching pad to enter other markets in Asia. However, doing this is easier said than done.

Asian Insiders which is part of our premium member, Norway Connect’s network in Asia, can help strengthen your Asian expansion plans and place you on the path to regional success through the 3E process.

Evaluate

Expansion in Asia requires thorough evaluation to ensure you find the right markets and have a strategy in place to hit the ground running. Asian Insiders offers fact-based market insights on a country-by-country basis. We support clients with planned, optimised and staged resource allocation across territories and sectors.

Enter

Success in Thailand will not always equate to success elsewhere in Asia. Successful market entrance includes getting business partnerships up and running and finding the right channels. To assist, we offer unique tools and processes in addition to decades of business experience to enable your success when entering regional markets.

Expand

Whether you want to ramp up sales in selected markets after a successful entrance or extend your Thailand base of operations into a wider regional hub, Asian Insiders can assist. We will also work with you on efficient channel management and sales monitoring that keeps growth in focus.

For EFTA companies in Thailand, expanding into other Asian markets or even creating a regional plan is worth considering. This is a region with vast potential, high growth projections and untapped opportunities. There is no time like the present to take advantage of this.
