And business is growing every year,” said Malee Choklamlert, director general of the Department of International Trade Promotion.
“We’re also the No 4 refrigerator producer in the world, so the quality of Thai products is globally accepted,” she added.
Malee said the event has “Eco Innovation for a Sustainable Future” as one of its themes, in a nod to environmental concerns, and “Smart Innovation for an Ultimate Lifestyle” as another, acknowledging the newly developed products that promise greater convenience, such as electrical appliances that can be controlled via smartphones.
The organisers expect 1,000 exhibitors and 10,000 visitors from Thailand, along with buyers from South and Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
“We expect as much as Bt3 billion in sales during the event,” Malee said.
