In a world defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), companies are actively pursuing innovative approaches to ensure resilience and sustainability. While China's established supply chains, advanced infrastructure, and abundant talent are well-known, the ASEAN region presents itself as an increasingly appealing market option. Here, businesses encounter favorable tariff schemes, deepening supply chains, and substantial cost advantages.

For international companies already situated in South China, strategically expanding operations into the nearby and rapidly growing ASEAN region offers immense potential. Many are already optimizing their supply chains, seeking cost-effective inputs from alternative regions to streamline operations, explore new opportunities, or enhance existing ventures.

Mr. Klaus Zenkel, Vice President of the European Chamber and Chairman of the European Chamber South China Board, will be joining us to deliver the opening remarks for the event.

Hosted by Dezan Shira & Associates China's Managing Partner, Alberto Vettoretti, and ASEAN Director, Marco Förster, this workshop focuses on strategically leveraging supply chain connection opportunities between GBA and the vibrant ASEAN market. Through recent economic data, experience sharing stemming from assisting a growing number of foreign and local companies expanding beyond the GBA and related case studies, we aim to showcase pathways for resilience and sustainability in today's dynamic global business environment.
