Are you looking for business opportunities in Thailand? Do you want to learn more about the Bio-Circular and Green (BCG) economic model in Thailand?

This webinar, jointly organized by Holland Circular Hotspot, the Netherlands Embassy in Thailand and the Netherlands-Thai Chamber of Commerce, aims to engage Dutch companies interested in the Bio-Circular and Green (BCG) economic model in Thailand. The event will feature an expert panel of government officials, researchers and private companies from Thailand and the Netherlands, and an interactive Q&A session.

Thailand offers excellent prospects for developing businesses in biofuels, bioplastics and biochemicals due to its abundant natural resources, biodiversity, and strong agricultural activities. Opportunities are also arising for the use of agricultural waste streams to generate renewable energy.
