From September 23-26, Thierry Mermet took Source of Asia to the SIDO Best Practices & Training Forum in Salt Lake City. It was an exciting opportunity to explore fresh partnerships and dive into the untapped potential of ASEAN for US businesses.
Key Takeaways from the “Doing Business Session”
Last week, Source of Asia proudly sponsored the SIDO Best Practices & Training Forum in Salt Lake City. Moreover, our CEO – Thierry Mermet had the privilege of speaking at the “Doing Business Session: Eastern Europe vs Southeast Asia” alongside his colleague, Cedric Fromont. We explored the growing opportunities for US companies in ASEAN, especially in Vietnam and South Korea. The session offered a deep dive into key market trends and the competitive advantages of doing business in ASEAN.
Collaboration with US Trade Agencies
The forum provided a platform for insightful conversations with US State International Trade Agencies. These interactions underscored the immense potential for collaboration between the US and Southeast Asia. Moreover, we highlighted the strategic opportunities that ASEAN presents for US-based businesses looking to expand their global footprint. This engagement was a critical step toward fostering deeper trade partnerships and investment between the two regions.
