This virtual business matching event is part of the efforts under Krungsri Business that not only provides fully integrated financial services, but also offers knowledge, information, and support our commercial customers in finding new business opportunities in a region, especially in the situation of COVID-19 where international business traveling has become difficult. This has resulted in a delay in the development of certain businesses which depend on international trade. Therefore, Krungsri, with a strong network in Thailand and ASEAN region, has acted as an intermediary to create an online meeting platform for business negotiation for customers. The event was first organized in 2020 among Thai entrepreneurs and generated over 100 business matches. This year, Krungsri continues its business expansion to the ASEAN region by organizing “The 2nd Krungsri Virtual Business Matching” which is open for buyers and sellers from Thailand and other ASEAN countries. At present, buyers from 4 countries namely Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam have responded with over 30 companies from 10 industries; health, beauty industry, food & beverage, construction materials, and household products. We are going to accept applications from sellers from today – 7 May 2021.”
This Krungsri Virtual Business Matching event focuses on enhancing both domestic and international opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs. Krungsri also has an effective demand screening system for both buyers and sellers to ensure that their demands can be met. In addition, the team from Krungsri will act as facilitator and translator in case that participants are not fluent in English. All of these efforts aim to increase business opportunities for Thai entrepreneurs in this difficult time.
“Krungsri focuses on enhancing business opportunities for commercial customers. This virtual business matching event is open for all companies including Krungsri customers and other interested non-Krungsri customers. This is because we want to support every entrepreneur to be able to have access to business opportunities and to build new markets domestically and internationally. We take advantage of our MUFG network and our partners in selecting participants, Thai entrepreneurs can thus rest assured that they will meet with reliable business partners. We expect to see over 150 negotiations generated from this event.” added Mr. Pornsanong.
