IAS Advisory co-founder Mr Anuwat Ngamprasertkul was honoured to give a lecture at the National Innovation Agency (NIA)’s recent seminar for entrepreneurs.
The NIA, a former government agency under the Ministry of Science & Technology, is a public organisation that promotes national innovation projects in Thailand. It also creates opportunities to access and utilise systems and infrastructure. The agency’s goal is to transform supply into value chains based on the country’s competitive advantages and on sustainable values.
Attendees of the event, which took place on Monday 21st October, were welcomed by Dr Surarat Supachaturat, the NIA’s Deputy Director for Economic & Social Affairs. Other speakers included Dr Sutthirak Duangburong, Senior Innovation Developer from the NIA’s Economic Innovation Division.
Anuwat was invited to address entrepreneurs and other innovators who are considering expanding operations and leveraging joint business overseas. His lecture focused on international laws and practices they should be aware of to help ensure compliance and mitigate risk.
Prior to venturing into foreign markets, entrepreneurs should consider: business formation, registration and licensing laws; foreign investment rules and regulations; contract law; taxation; and trade regulations and import/export controls. Also, laws related to dispute resolution and data privacy and personal data protection.
Thank you to the NIA. It was a genuine pleasure to join and discuss with the businesses and entrepreneurs in attendance the safest ways of expanding internationally. Establishing and growing operations abroad is challenging and requires navigating a series of legal complexities. I was glad to be able to contribute to such an interesting seminar.
