Introduction of BeLuThai
The Belgian-Luxembourg/Thai Chamber of Commerce (BeLuThai) is a small but very dynamic chamber comprising of over 90 corporate and individual members
The Chamber was established in November 1992 and succeeded the Thai-Belgium Business Association which had been operational since September 1990. Economic relations between Belgium/Luxembourg and Thailand have existed for centuries. During the last decades, the number of business contacts between these countries has grown considerably.
The aim of BeLuThai is to further support market access to and investments in Thailand for Belgian and Luxembourg companies. It provides information and services to members concerning commerce, industry, finance and investment, and we organize network events and activities relevant to Belgian, Luxembourg and Thai businesses. BeLuThai also serves as a channel to voice views and interests of Belgian and Luxembourg businesses towards the government of Thailand, as well as to other business organizations in Thailand.
