Pattaya, 8th October: The Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB) and the Eastern Economic Corridor Office (EECO) jointly organised the Mini EEC Fair 2024, running from 8th to 9th October 2024.

The event aims to attract investment in strategic future industries to drive the Thai economy, focusing on “EEC Opportunities: Investment Solutions Towards Sustainable Locals”. It is expected to draw over 2,500 participants from both Thailand and abroad.

Key activities included a keynote outlining the vision and future development of the EEC; and a panel discussion providing new perspectives on financial opportunities for investors in the EEC. Other activities include presentations covering business opportunities in five targeted industries; seminars on investment support in the EEC region; and EEC OOS (One-Stop Service), designed to facilitate decision-making for investors.

Mr. Puripan Bunnag, TCECB Senior Vice President, stated, “The Mini EEC Fair 2024 leverages MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) to enhance Thailand’s potential as an investment hub. This event not only demonstrates MICE’s ability to connect investors and entrepreneurs but also highlights its role in driving new business and investment opportunities in the EEC, particularly in the 12 existing target industries and the 5 new high-potential industries. Especially in the health and medical tourism industries, which are key targets for Thailand’s economic future. Promoting these industries will enhance Thailand’s competitive edge and contribute to sustainable economic growth.”
