This was complemented by presentations from Thai participants, who shared insights into Thailand’s e-commerce sector, as well as industries related to hardware and metal parts, rope and safety equipment, and commercial kitchenware.

These included members of the Chiang Mai Federation of Thai Industries, the BizClub Thailand business network, international logistics companies, the Thai-Beijing Chamber of Commerce (Chiang Mai Branch), and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) Thailand. Their participation enriched the discussion and expanded opportunities for future collaboration.
